80 years after the landing, historian Hugues Wenkin discovered in American archives the real reason for Rudder's delay of more than 30 minutes on Pointe du Hoc! A secret that has remained well kept until then. It was for his research work on the ACL and the comparison of the film “Saving Private Ryan” that Hugues found a declassified report from the American army.
In this report, we travel through Sector Charlie on Omaha to understand the story of Captain Goranson's Force B Rangers aka Captain Miller in Spielberg's film.
I would like to thank Hugues Wenkin for his help and expertise on the subject.
A big thank you also to the entire sometimes improvised film crew 😅 who supported me and followed me throughout this day 🙏 and to my dad and my brother 😘 for the voiceovers of Rommel and the captain of the HMS
Magazine 39-45 with Hugues' articles comes out in June 2024 so remember to get this collector's issue!
