Rangers Lead the Way: Pointe du Hoc Assault

The assault on Pointe du Hoc remains one of the most daring feats of arms in military history. Tasked with silencing six 155mm coastal guns, the 2nd Ranger Battalion navigated heavy surf and intense enemy fire to reach the base of the cliffs before using rocket-propelled grappling hooks and rope ladders to ascend. Their success, despite finding the guns moved slightly inland, prevented the devastating bombardment of the Allied invasion fleet during the critical early hours of the Normandy landings.\n\nThis dynamic set features 6 specialized US Ranger figures in high-action climbing and support poses. The pack includes figures specifically modeled for a cliffside diorama, featuring Rangers handling grappling hook launchers, securing ropes, and ascending with M1 Garands and Thompson submachine guns. Each miniature is detailed with Ranger-specific gear, including the iconic assault vests and cliff-scaling equipment.
