Pont du Hoc

This is the memorial at Pont du Hoc, which the rangers had to scale on D-Day to silence the big guns there were there. They lost a lot of men, were counter attacked, and had a miserable time with no reinforcements. The worst part? The guns that were supposedly there were wooden decoys. The real guns weren't set up yet.
