POINTE DU HOC, NORMANDY, 6 June 1944:
The destroyer USS Satterlee observed
enemy movements and swept the cliff-top with fire from all guns;
nevertheless, scattered fire from flanking position caused casualties
as the Rangers debarked on the heavily cratered beach. Colonel
James Rudder, leading the three companies of Rangers, was one
of the first ashore. Germans suddenly appeared on the cliff edge
and began to harass the Rangers directly below with rifle fire
and hand grenades. This threat was driven back by BAR gunners
and another concentration of fire from the USS Satterlee.
