This is one of the most famous episodes of the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. A battalion of Rangers was landed at the foot of Pointe du Hoc to climb the cliff and blow up the gun batteries that could spray the Allied barges loaded with men on Omaha. In the film The Longest Day, this courageous, if not suicidal, action was widely described, which brought it real notoriety. Bruno Falba, Davide Fabbri and Christian Dalla Vecchia are the pencillers for this album, which is published for the 2016 commemoration of the landing in the Overlord collection.
