The dramatic story of Pointe du Hoc, the backdrop to Biden's D-Day anniversary speech

1. It is a dramatic story, "story" is the key word. It really made a heroic tale and the part about scaling the cliffs

Is true and dramatic. Not finding the guns when they got to the top is true but it wasn’t like they found them near by. I can’t remember now but I’m not sure they even did find them. The story usually goes they found them in a nearby orchard which wasn’t really true, I think they found prepared in placements. There’s a lot more that has come out recently and nothing detracts from the truly heroic efforts of the rangers.
