About this listen

Before scaling the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, the U.S. Army Rangers had to be forged into a single fighting force. In this first episode of our five-part series, we trace the preparations of the Provisional Ranger Group — from their arrival in Britain and training at the Assault Training Center, to secret equipment trials, planning debates, and final embarkation for D-Day.

Discover how the 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions were readied for one of the most dangerous missions of June 6th, 1944.
