Re: German Reports 6th June 1944

Air attack made by the 9th USAAF with 637 Tons ( time 1.30 am ) on Pointe du Hoc.
It was a nasty bombardement for the german soldier.
With many dead or wounded soldiers.

5.55 am. The Battleships USS Texas and USS Arkansas and some destroyer did open fire, within 32 minutes they did shot more than 600 shells, but Wilhelm Kirchhoff , from a german Werfer unit,reported, that most of the shells did not hit , most of the shells were flying over the bunker, trenches .........
