Rangers

US Army Rangers carried out high-risk raids and assaults, from Pointe du Hoc to the Pacific. Their operations showcase special forces doctrine, small-unit tactics and precision assaults.

6 June 1944

Omaha Beach makes a powerful impression. When you visit the beach, you know that this is where Robert Capa took those famous photos of American soldiers assaulting through the obstacle belt, and where the dramatic first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan was set. It also becomes clear how important the five beach exits were to the American planners as there is no other way to get vehicles off the beach.
