Auto Ordnance / Thompson The Rangers Tommy Gun D-Day Edition 45Acp 16.5

On D-Day the U.S. Army Rangers had one mission: seize German fortifications at Pointe du Hoc and destroy the enemy positions. In considering what was required to complete the mission this was a task that most would view as impossible. Success demanded landing on a beach under heavy German fire scaling a sheer cliff face and storming heavily fortified positions. Yet as history would soon record on 6 June 1944 the Rangers led the way and accomplished one of many impossible missions in their storied history. - Auto-Ordnance honors the memory of the
