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.
