On the morning of June 6th, 1944, Ranger Force A of the Provisional Ranger Group sets out across rough seas toward one of the most dangerous objectives of D-Day: Pointe du Hoc. Packed into small landing craft, they face confusion, heavy surf, and enemy fire during their desperate run to the cliffs.This episode continues our five-part series on the Provisional Ranger Force during D-Day. We follow the Rangers from their transports to the shattered beach below Pointe du Hoc — a hazardous approach that tested their training, their equipment, and their resolve.For more background — including photographs, maps, original documents, and the sources behind this series — visit https://worldwar2-sof.com/welcome-to-world-war-2-special-forces-com/which-special-forces-operations-took-place-in-world-war-2/which-special-forces-operations-took-place-in-1944/which-special-forces-operations-took-place-in-june-1944/operation-overlord/operation-neptune/omaha-beach/omaha-beach-provisional-ranger-group/omaha-beach-prg-force-a-pointe-du-hoc/#WWII #DDay #Rangers #PointeDuHoc #OmahaBeach #Normandy1944 #MilitaryHistory #HistoryPodcast #WW2Podcast🔗 Stay connected with us:Website: https://worldwar2-sof.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ww2.sofFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WorldWar2SOFThreads: https://www.threads.net/@ww2.sofPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpecialForcesinWorldWar2Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worldwar2sof
