[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2727897, member: 73370"] i agree that rudder may have been given credit that he didn't deserve, but i have always been hesitant to second guess battlefield decisions based upon pieces of information made without any lives at stake or anyone shooting at you. if i recall correctly, rudder got to the base of the cliffs with roughly half the men and materials he started towards the beach. they suffered losses on the way up and taking control of du hoc and the germans did launch multiple counterattacks over the next few days to try to take back the location. easy to say he should have pushed on to battery maisy and had he taken the battery lives would have been saved, but what happens if by separating his forces and trying to hold du hoc and take maisy the germans reclaim du hoc?
