In fact, "Pointe du Hoc" was one of the thousand German stronghold positions of Hitler' project to build a wall of defense along the coast in Europe. Known as “The Atlantic Wall” and which consisted of building bunkers, guns battery and beach obstacles network along the coastline, from the Spanish border to Norway in order to prevent any allied invasion. In June 6, 1944 at 07:10 am 225 US Rangers aboard barges landed just below from the cliffs and began to scale them using ropes in order to storm the guns location and then destroy them all. Blown up concrete bunkers, bomb craters and traces of the battle are still visible today.

En famille Un passage dans un lieu chargé d'histoire. Comment ne pas passer par la pointe du Hoc pour se rendre compte de la violence des combats. Il n'est pas difficile de s'imaginer l'enfer des combats. Seul le paysage au loin est magnifique. Je recommande forcément cette visite. Il faut lire un livre qui explique vraiment bien ce moment du coté Allemand "ILS ARRIVENT"
