Sure does, I would not have wanted to be there when the shells came raining down. :shock:
Is that the the one that those Ranger fellas had to climb?
I think it is - Saving Private Ryan and all that - an awesome achievement!
Yeah...
That's the cliffs that the rangers fired ropes with grappling hooks and climbed to the top. They took hellacious casualties.
When they got to the gun pits...there were no gun mounts.
The guns had never been installed.
