Normandy+Beach+-+Fifth+Rangers+Battalion

The 5th Ranger battalion were the most valuable squad during D-Day invasion. They landed on the Beaches of Normandy led by General Omar Bradley. Their vehicles approached the beach and Bradley seriously considered turning back after watching other squads get torn to shreds form machine gun fire and motor shells. They continued with the landing, the general saying his famous quote "Rangers, lead the way!" Fifty percent of them didn't move 10ft from the boat before suffering an agonizing fate from German Pillboxes. The remaining Rangers broke through the barbed wire and made it to the cliff.

When they reached the cliff they franticly scaled the rocky slope behind enemy lines joining up with the 2nd Ranger Battalion who followed. They went from pillbox to pillbox, taking them out one by one, saving dozens of Allied forces, including freeing over twenty captured Allies. After the attack they were rewarded two distinguished unit citations and France's highest medal of honor the Croix de Guerre.
