Day 2: Pointe Du Hoc

Pointe du Hoc is the location where 225 US Army Rangers climbed 100 ft cliffs to take what the allied forces thought was a artillery stronghold for the Germans. Little did they know that many of the guns were moved several days before D-Day.

You can read more about Pointe du Hoc HERE. Pointe du Hoc today looks exactly like it did in 1944. Craters and all. This was by far one of the most interesting parts of our Normandy trip.





















This the best photo I have to give you a good idea of just how big these craters are!
