On June 6, 1944, a C47 aircraft with serial nr 42-100733 was carrying 4 crew members and 19 passengers. The passengers were paratroopers of Company I, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division. Once over France, the plane was hit and four paratroopers managed to jump out. Little did they know that they landed on and near Pointe du Hoc. Even more crazier must have been the sight of the US Rangers assaulting the cliffs in the morning. In this video I show my conducted research to the paratroopers at Pointe du Hoc.
