Not even halfway and this is the most comprehensive and detailed analyses of this action available on YouTube. Thank you for this, with the drone footage I feel like I’m there!

This is probably the best accounting of the overall assault force from the 2nd and 5th Ranger battalions I've ever seen! I was just at Pointe du Hoc this last Sunday (29th March) for the fifth time, and would have loved to watch this first. I was a former member of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, 98-00, and had the privilege of meeting and speaking with Len Lommel and Sidney Salomon in January 1999 at the 2nd Ranger Battalion Dining In. Len was the guest speaker, and I was fortunate enough to sit with him for over an hour and hear his stories, not only about PdH but also about Huertgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, and much of his time fighting in Europe. What an amazing man! Thanks again for another outstanding video!

Great video presentation as per your usual standards Jon!<br>Fantastic editing with a well researched narrative supported by maps, and utilising photos and accurate stock footage to support your story!<br>There’s nothing like watching a video documentary and seeing footage from Vietnam or random WW2 excerpts because the creator/s just doesn’t make that effort!<br>10/10 for your attention to detail mate.<br>Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😊❤

An absolutely first class episode on this wonderful channel. I'm sure everybody has seen lots of film of the Pointe du Hoc, but this was another level completely and so engaging too . Well done Sir, you gave the Rangers a fine commentary to which they fully deserved.
