Subject Matter
war
American sergeant; American corporal
American Rangers are on their way to Pointe Du Hoe by landing craft, expecting the Germans not to believe that the Americans would scale the sheer cliffs of Pointe Du Hoe. G-2 didn't expect all that would go wrong with the operation, but, fortunately, the sergeant in command realized that one always has to allow for the unforeseeable, and the operation succeeded.
