The incredible story of the U.S. Army Rangers who assaulted the 100 foot-high cliffs of Pointe-du-Hoc on June 6, 1944, where 6 German cannons were supposed to be located and taken out. Narrated by David McCallum and Donnie Wahlberg Documentary to include: -Interviews with D-Day and Pointe-du-Hoc survivors. -Exclusive Drone footage of the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc. -Exclusive Drone footage of the English Channel approach to Pointe du Hoc and of the seaward side of the cliffs themselves. —Tim Gray
This is an interesting account of one expect of the D-Day invasion in France, that involving the scaling of rather intimidating cliffs to take out six cannon seen as particularly dangerous to the overall landing.
As you might expect in any large-scale military operations, some details are missed and errors made, not to mention changes in the enemy position that disrupted and endangered the mission. The story is really about the elite team who overcame every obstacle and suffered numerous casualties to do so.
Ultimately the most interesting parts to me centered around the testimony of the survivors or even their family members. They made the human story real.
