On D-Day, the United States Army Rangers, led by Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder, scaled the 30-meter-high cliffs to capture the German positions. Despite facing heavy resistance and difficult terrain, the Rangers successfully took control of the area, which was crucial for the success of the Normandy landings.
