Normandy, traces of D-day Six kilometres west of Omaha, the “Pointe du Hoc” towers thirty metres above a narrow pebble beach. The Pointe du Hoc was crowned by a German battery (still under construction in June 1944). On D-Day, the 2nd Ranger Battalion, made up of 225 soldiers, along with the 5th Ranger Battalion in support, scaled these cliffs and neutralized the enemy positions. #D_day_Normandy #BeachTips! #History
