Looking at those photos, I noticed they have demolished the "German villa" completely now. 
It was called this way because some Germans from the Kriegsmarine (manning the guns on the cliffs) were using this "villa" as their quarters until the Allied bombings and gunfire routed them out of it.
It was halfway the cliffs overlooking Charlie Beach and one of the points this group of Rangers attacked.
They went all the way up and assaulted the pillboxes and other defenses from the rear and side.
I have the story of Michael Klemick too, so if interested, I'll post it here or in a new topic.
