Provisional Ranger Group, Force C rescue force to Pointe du Hoc.

On D-Day, June 6th, 1944, Ranger Force C, under Major Max Schneider, sails toward the Normandy coast. Comprising the 5th Ranger Battalion, Companies A and B of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, and the Ranger Cannon Platoon, the force faces a crucial decision: follow the planned assault on Dog Green Beach or divert west to relieve the hard-pressed Rangers at Pointe du Hoc.

What begins as a carefully timed landing becomes chaos in heavy seas, broken radio contact, and fierce enemy fire. The episode follows Force C from the moment they leave their ships at dawn to their violent landings on Omaha, their fight up the bluffs with Brigadier General Norman Cota’s immortal order “Rangers, lead the way!” and their struggle through Vierville-sur-Mer, Saint-Pierre-du-Mont, and finally to Pointe du Hoc.

You’ll hear how these Rangers endured confusion, counterattacks, and friendly-fire incidents while holding the western flank of Omaha Beach and fighting to link up with the isolated men of Force A. Meticulously reconstructed from after-action reports and eyewitness records, this episode reveals the full scope of the Rangers’ courage, endurance, and sacrifice during the desperate opening days of Operation Neptune.
