Pointe du Hoc | Scaling the Impossible (Republish)

Pointe du Hoc | Scaling the Impossible (Republish)

To honor the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion, we are republishing our Pointe du Hoc episode (first aired on April 12, 2021).

"The last landing was unique. It was a 100-foot cliff facing the English Channel, situated between Utah and Omaha beach. At the top of the cliff were 155mm guns with a range of 3.5 miles that could fire on both Utah and Omaha beaches and cause maximum casualties. The challenges facing these men were obvious, with the sheer rock face and no cover, and they would be easy targets for the Germans. In addition, the choppy sea and possible equipment and mechanical failures added to the dangers of combat. All factors, from combat conditions to topographical obstacles, made the objective almost impossible. The Germans believed that whatever the invasion would be, it couldn’t include Pointe Du Hoc."
