Vandring
During the Second World War this point was covered by German bunkers and cannons. The Germans had installed six 155 mm guns to defend the landing beaches. On June 6, 1944, during the Normandy landings, Pointe du Hoc was a target of the Allies to protect the threatened beaches from the menacing fire of the 155 mm naval guns. This difficult and arduous mission was entrusted to the US 2nd Ranger battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder. 225 men would land on the beach and have to destroy the guns.
