The greatest generation in action. We will never see their like again. The pre-invasion plans estimated something like 80-90% casualties for the Rangers. Luckily they weren't as high as that, but still substantial. Douglas Brinkley wrote a book entitled "The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc". Worth reading.

I am writing on behalf of my wife - her father, SSG Mike Sharik, was in Easy Company, 2d Ranger Battalion and climbed those cliffs. Tough job - but to a man, members of 2d Ranger said they'd trade a week of being at Pointe Du Hoc to avoid one single day at Hill 400, in the Hurtgen Forest - Dec 7-8, 1944 - that was their "Longest Day" - ordered to take a hill that 3 separate divisions attempted to take - and they were ordered to hold it "at all costs" for 24 hours until reinforcements arrived. The Combat Command Reserve Brigade of the 5th Armored Division (3000 men with tanks) was practically annihilated by the ferocity of the German counter-attack when it attempted to take hill immediately before the 2d Ranger were assigned the task. Google "Mike Sharik Hill 400" and you'll get several articles and books which detail the action - several of them mention my father-in-law (even a German version mentions him). There are two videos - one was a History channel summary of the battle from Dog Company's perspective, which mentions my wife's father twice - and the other was an A&E series which covers the battle in a broader overview. There are two books which detail the Hill 400 action - one is "Beyond Valor - Suicide Missions of World War II" and "Dog Company" which chronicles Company-D, which led nearly every major action the Allies took in France, and who the author of the book says "they were everywhere" claiming that this small group of men positively affected more battles than any other company in the U.S Army. Indeed, 2d Ranger Battalion NEVER FAILED to achieve the objectives assigned to them - and those objectives were usually the "impossible missions" - such as Pointe Du Hoc, the Port of Brest, and Hill 400. The Rangers stormed the hill with 125 men and took it - my father-in-law led the D-Company charge up Hill 400 (he had been transferred into Dog Company as a section leader from Easy Company right before the battle); they then held it against five major counter-attacks over a 40-hour period in an attempt to take it back. They did their duty - at great cost. Only about a dozen men from Dog Company survived the action - fewer survived from Fox Company. The 2d Ranger Battalion was shattered by that battle and was disbanded shortly thereafter - all to take and hold a hill that once turned over to the 8th Infantry Division was lost 14-days later. Wehrmacht Field Marshall Walter Model said the artillery barrage dumped on the Rangers (and the Germans, too) was not surpassed by anything he had seen on the Russian Front. The Rangers said it was far more brutal than the barrage on D-Day - that's saying something. My Father-in Law, wounded three times in WWII, stayed in the Army after the war and made it his career. Colleagues who served with him in New Mexico (the Manhattan Project), Germany, and Turkey, mentioned what a fine soldier he was, but commented that they were not aware of his bravery in combat. This is typical of the countless heroes of "The Greatest Generation" who never spoke of their experiences - partially because they felt they did nothing deserving recognition - they just did their duty, and partially because of the painful memories of losing so many of their buddies in combat. He stayed silent and his sons and daughters did not know of, nor see until they buried him - his Presidential Unit Citation (Pointe-Du-Hoc), his French Croix-De-Guerre (Hill 400), two Bronze Star and three Purple Heart medals, along with a chest-full of others. That's just how "The Greatest Generation" rolled - Duty, Honor, Sacrifice and Silence - no self-aggrandizement. As it should be. To my Father-in-Law, the Rangers, and all of the men and women who were genuine heroes, not what we erroneously call "heroes" today - but selfless, brave and determined people who answered the call of their country and didn't whine about it, and did not expect to be treated as special for having done so - THANK YOU for showing us the best of what we can be as Americans.

One can't have too many grenades.

The 100-foot ladders the Rangers used had been requisitioned from the London Fire Brigade, however they proved to be too short to reach the cliff top.

Visit point du hoc a few days ago. Its still amazing the guts theze guys had .

This was a great movie with a good cast.

I like the fact that there was not a musical score to this scene or to the movie in general.

My uncle, Thomas Braidwood, was with the Rangers thst day. He took myself and younger brother to this movie when in came out around 1960. He lived with us and didn't sleep for a week.

First movie of WWII I’ve ever seen back in 4th grade. I got interested in the war because I watched my dad play Call of Duty WW2. I had always played war with my brother recreating these scenes of the paratroop assault and Utah/Omaha Beach.

By the way, my ggpa was a paratrooper in the 82nd Abn, 505th pir at Sicily, Salerno/Naples-Foggia campaign and then sent to the 101st Abn at Normandy, Market Garden, and the Bulge. He stayed in Europe until 1947 serving as a railway operator in the Army Service Forces.

Certainly the best place for an amphibious landing

While the 1998 movie Saving Private Ryan depicts the detailed brutality of the action on D'day, The Longest Day depicts the detailed events of the landings on D'day. D'day was not just Omaha Beach and the allied landing party was composed of American, British and Canadian troops. French locals also proved to be helpful allies.

One detail that got left out was that all the Rangers had a orange diamond[or lozenge] with a blue number of their regiment on the back of their helmets. They also left out the extendable ladders that were borrowed from the London Fire Brigade. Those were so unstable, and too short to be of any practical use. The bombing and naval gunfire that hit the area of the headland also created a slide of rock and rubble that made access to the cliff face much more manageable.

Not necessarily. Pre-firearm warfare was nowhere near as bloody as the movies would have you believe. As odd as it may seem, being stabbed with a sword or spear, or being punctured with an arrow was often not as destructive as being hit by a rifle round (and certainly not as terrible as being near an explosion). When bullets enter the body, they often tumble, fragment, or expand, shredding internal organs and creating internal cavities much larger than the entry wound. A sharp implement, on the other hand, would often create clean cuts that, bar a direct hit to a vital organ or blood vessel, can be dressed and healed fairly easily. The worst part of combat was for centuries the risk of infection. Furthermore, the slow, organized, and at times even tedious pace of pre-firearm warfare meant that soldiers often did not suffer the same intensity of mental trauma that accompanies twentieth century warfare.

Don't try it!

I get to add a comment. My uncles were in this area. On my fathers birthday Pearl Harbor attack 1942. 12 brothers left the party to sign up, but being Sunday they had to wait another day. My father was exempt because of his ability in manufacturing electoral parts for tanks, otherwise I may not have been born.

That reminds me of call of duty 2.
