    This is an interesting account of one expect of the D-Day invasion in France, that involving the scaling of rather intimidating cliffs to take out six cannon seen as particularly dangerous to the overall landing.

    As you might expect in any large-scale military operations, some details are missed and errors made, not to mention changes in the enemy position that disrupted and endangered the mission. The story is really about the elite team who overcame every obstacle and suffered numerous casualties to do so.

    Ultimately the most interesting parts to me centered around the testimony of the survivors or even their family members. They made the human story real.
