Can a unit behind a hill see and shoot at lower hexes on the other side?

No — a hill blocks line of sight for units looking over it, so a unit on low ground can't target hexes beyond a hill, and can only target the hill top itself (at -1). To see down the far side a unit has to stand on the hill. This applies to both sides at Pointe du Hoc, and to the Germans behind the hill.
