OBJECTIVE

At Pointe Du Hoc a 100-meter-high cliff, with perpendicular sides jutting out into the Channel faced the attacking US. It looked down on Utah Beach to the left and Omaha Beach to the right. There were six 155mm cannon in heavily reinforced concrete bunkers that were capable of hitting either beach with their big shells. On the outermost edge of the cliff, the Germans had an elaborate, well-protected outpost, where the spotters had a perfect view and could call back coordinates to the gunners at the 155s. Those guns had to be neutralized. The American Rangers are to capture or destroy the six 155mm guns and capture the German Strong Points! Good Luck on your mission!
