On the 6 June 1944, the Western Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy, beginning the long-awaited liberation of Western Europe. At Pointe du Hoc, the U.S. 2nd Ranger Battalion landed with the mission of taking out six German Guns capable of hitting both Utah and Omaha beaches. But, whilst the story of the Rangers is well-known and documented, the story of the eight British soldiers who were attached to them - from the Royal Army Service Corps, Commando's and Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve - isn't and is often completely omitted from the Histories of the Battle of Pointe du Hoc; this video aims to rectify that.
This video is dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Ronald Eades, R.N.V.R., and the U.S. Rangers of the 2nd and 5th Battalions who assaulted Pointe du Hoc.
