Description
On D-Day, June 6th, 1944, Rangers scaled the over 100 meter high cliffs of Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, France, to take out the German guns they thought were there. While this was happening, Allied pilots dropped bomb after bomb on top of the German bunkers.

Sixty nine years later, after the French government handed the land over to the United States and made the land a monument, seeding the craters to keep it as it was that day, Pointe du Hoc is awe-inspiring.

Studies show that the energy put out by the bombs dropped that day is equal to the energy of the bomb that hit Hiroshima.
