A strategic site of the Atlantic Wall

0
Pointe du Hoc spurs in the English Channel between Omaha Beach and Utah Beach. Due to its location, the Germans used it as a strategic point of the Atlantic Wall supposed to stop any enemy landing during WWII. On the morning of June 6, 1944, Colonel James Earl Rudder's Rangers climbed its high cliffs (nearly 98 ft / 30 m) with the strength of their hands and under heavy fire. They started from a small pebble beach about 32 ft (10 m) wide.
