Pointe du Hoc

The old World War 2 German bunkers. A very interesting site
Us in a bomb crater at Pointe du Hoc. The site of an impressive Allied raid during D-day.

To see such a beautiful and peaceful sight makes it even more difficult to imagine the D-Day assault of this cliff.
An impressive D-Day site, this strategic bluff overlooking Utah Beach and Omaha Beach was heavily bombed in the weeks and days leading up to the invasion.  To get a true appreciation of the effect of this bombing, bring up the map in satellite view!

Although the Germans had initially positioned six large guns here, the aerial bombings forced them to hide the guns, rendering them useless on D-Day.  To be certain, though, US Army Rangers assaulted and scaled the cliffs to secure the site.
