Pointe du Hoc

At the rugged cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, visitors are instantly transported to a defining moment of the D-Day landings during World War II. This strategic promontory, positioned between Utah and Omaha Beaches, served as a fortified German defense post, equipped with artillery batteries that posed a serious threat to Allied forces. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers courageously scaled the sheer 100-foot cliffs under relentless enemy fire to neutralize the position—a daring act of valor that was critical to the success of the Normandy invasion. Today, Pointe du Hoc stands as a powerful tribute to their heroism, with bomb craters, ruined bunkers, and a monument commemorating the Rangers’ sacrifice. Walking among these historic ruins, the profound weight of history is felt deeply, inviting reflection on the extraordinary bravery displayed here.
