Default Re: Need Information on Pointe du Hoc in Normandy
I have two things.
-The first Bradley HQ at Pointe du Hoc was at 7.45 , near German bunker L409 (37mm A.A. canon) in a field just west of the building.
-Many 1944 maps mention "Pointe du Hoe" which is a mispelling that survives nowadays both place are the same and the correct spelling is "Hoc" not "Hoe".
