The Pointe du Hoc was one of the strongholds in the German fortifications and was taken by force in a daring vertical assault by US Army Rangers on the morning of June 6, 1944 during the Normandy beach landings. The D-Day ceremonies on June 6 this year mark the 80th anniversary since the launch of 'Operation Overlord', a vast military operation by Allied forces in Normandy, which turned the tide of World War II, eventually leading to the liberation of occupied France and the end of the war against Nazi Germany.

WWII Veterans Visit Normandy After 80 Years For Historic D-Day Anniversary

As tears come down from their eyes and memories are shared, this year will be the largest D-Day commemoration in history as the last surviving American World War II veterans head back to the beaches of Normandy 80 years later to remember those who lost their lives giving the ultimate sacrifice.

The invasion of Normandy was launched on June 6, 1944, with the simultaneous landing of American, Canadian and British forces spread across five separate beachheads in Normandy. Also called Operation Overlord, this massive military operation was a major success for Allied troops, allowing them to break through the Wehrmacht defenses and force their way to Paris in August 1944.
