Ranger Assault
Climbing the impossible to save the world
📱 1 to 10 phones · 1 team per phone · Independent codes
On June 6, 1944, 225 Rangers of the 2nd Ranger Battalion scale a 30-meter cliff under enemy fire to destroy guns capable of firing on Omaha and Utah beaches. At the top, they discover the guns have been moved. The battle is just beginning.
A lunar landscape sculpted by bombs
When you arrive at Pointe du Hoc, the shock is immediate. The ground is no longer flat — it is a field of craters several meters deep, carved by Allied bombing. The bunkers are gutted, twisted, toppled into the void. And at the cliff edge, when you look down, you understand the impossible: the Rangers climbed this, under fire, with grappling hooks and fire ladders. It is the most emotional site in all of Normandy.

« "These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent." »— — President Ronald Reagan, 40th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1984
Pointe du Hoc — D-Day's most audacious assault
Pointe du Hoc is a 30-meter-high promontory located between Omaha and Utah Beach. Allied intelligence had identified six 155mm guns there, capable of firing on both beaches — a mortal threat to the invasion. The mission to destroy them is assigned to Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder's 2nd Ranger Battalion: 225 men against a cliff and a German garrison.
On June 6 at 7:10 AM, the Rangers approach the base of the cliff in Higgins boats. The bombardments have not neutralized the defenses. Under a rain of grenades and machine gun fire, the men fire rocket-propelled grappling hooks and begin the climb. Fire ladders from the London Fire Brigade are raised. The ropes are cut by the Germans. Men climb barehanded in the mud. In half an hour, the first Rangers reach the top.
But at the top, a surprise: the casemates are empty. The guns have been moved to an orchard inland. A Ranger patrol will find and destroy them. For two days, the 90 surviving Rangers will hold against German counterattacks without reinforcements or supplies. Of the 225 men who scaled the cliff, only 90 are still able to fight when relief finally arrives on June 8.
