Vee and Bas, thank you both very much for the pictures you took.I hope you do not mind me saving them for my personal files?
I sure wish I could have been there, but there were other things that needed my attention.
Maybe next year, I'll go have a look myself.
So much has changed apparently.
If you look at the photo of Charlie Beach (with the white marker in the foreground), about halfway up the cliffs or bluffs, you can see a German concrete gun position.
Well, my buddy Mike and his group climbed the bluffs behind that bunker and attacked these positions from the rear.
I was there several years ago (the "German villa" was still there) and - although not Pointe-du-Hoc - it sure is a heck of a climb!

Hi Erwin ,
I am happy that you like the photos !!
I have found
Some archive images on the bunker H 677 for anti-tank gun of 8.8 cm Pak 41/43 from the beach of Vierville in June 1944:
I do not know if you're interested ?
