I am standing (shivering on my skis) about 200 m from the main gondola lift of Mont. Tremblant Ski Resort about 150 km North of Montreal Quebec. The temperature is about -35C and the air is filled with ice crystal fog. You can just make out the ski run called Le Edge starting at the top of the peak on the left.

Further along the coast was the decimated strong point at Point du Hoc, its six 155 mm guns taken and destroyed by 225 American Rangers, led by Col J. Rudder, who fought to scale the 33 m cliff and take out the guns before H-Hour. By the time they were relieved, 2-1/2 days later, there had been 135 casualties.
