Some more pictures from Normandy. This place is called Point du Hoc. US Rangers had to climb these cliffs and try to destroy the artillery, as this artillery could hit the landing beaches.
After a very bloody fight and heavy losses, the Rangers were able to take out the pillboxes, only to find them empty. The Germans had moved the guns.
