RANGERS ATOP POINTE DU HOC

Описание: At Pointe du Hoc on June 6, 1944, 225 U.S. Army Rangers launched a near-suicidal assault up 100-foot cliffs guarding Utah and Omaha Beaches. Under relentless fire, they scaled the rock face, discovered the missing 155mm guns hidden inland, and destroyed them with thermite grenades—preventing devastation of the D-Day landings. Outnumbered and isolated, the Rangers held their captured ground for 48 brutal hours until relief arrived. Only 90 remained combat-effective. Based entirely on verified military records and eyewitness accounts, this documentary recounts the courage and precision that made the most vertical battle of D-Day a decisive success.
