I thought the sniper's scope in "Saving Private Ryan" was a Lyman Targetspot; it sure looked like one. Unertl's were used in the Pacific theater on both Win. 70 Nat'l Match rifles as well as M1903's of some gender.
Regarding the mention of Pointe du Hoc, that area on the Normandie beaches can easily be seen by searching for it on Google Earth. I was there a couple of years ago visiting the area and bomb craters up to 20 feet deep and 50 feet across were left as a memorial by the French people cleaning up the area. The area people have a big celebration event every year celebrating the invasion's success.
