On 6 June 1944, around forty Wehrmacht soldiers were in this important strong point, the WN60. lt is the best-preserved strong point and one of the best viewing points of the whole of Omaha Beach. Two companies of the 16th Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division, which landed at 7am under the cover of the vertical cliff, attacked the WN60 at around 8am. They took advantage of a path which by-passed it on the west, and attacked from the rear.
The battle was short and bloody, with shooting, grenades and explosive charges flushing out the Germans who were hidden their bunkers and shelters. A 9am the last Germans surrendered. Thus, the first large strong point on Omaha Beach was captured with 31 German prisoners. This success allowed the opening of another exit road from the beach in the afternoon.
