Tour Pointe du Hoc with app 
"Smartphone users can now experience the history of Pointe du Hoc and tour the World War II D-Day landing site in France with the American Battle Monuments Commission free Pointe du Hoc mobile app.
"The GPS-enabled application allows virtual visitors to experience the site where U.S. Army Rangers scaled the 100-foot cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, destroyed a critical German battery and took control of the coastal highway, playing a crucial role in the Allied success of D-Day. The app is perfect for those seeking a guided-tour of Pointe du Hoc or those who simply want to learn more about the battle." . . .
