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.
