Rangers Lead the Way at Pointe Du Hoc

The 2nd Ranger Battalion's assault on Pointe du Hoc remains one of the most daring feats of the Normandy landings. Facing intense fire, these specialized soldiers used rope ladders and grapples to scale vertical cliffs to destroy a battery of 155mm guns that threatened both Omaha and Utah beaches. Their success under extreme duress established the modern legacy of the U.S. Army Rangers as a premier strike force capable of achieving the impossible behind enemy lines.\n\nThe set includes 6 miniatures in dynamic combat poses: 1 Officer/NCO directing fire with a radio, 1 specialist pointing out targets, 2 kneeling riflemen providing suppressing fire, 1 standing infantryman with a Thompson submachine gun, and 1 rifleman in a standing firing position. Each model features high-fidelity detail including M1941 field jackets, Ranger-specific gear, and M1 helmets with netting.
