Bombs fall around warships at sea

Between the struts of an aircraft's glazed nose, a warship far below trails smoke across a dark sea; a bomb bursts in the water close beside a ship and throws up a tall white column; two warships steam on as another column of water collapses behind them. The view from the attacking aircraft marks the material as German newsreel footage. German bombers attacked Allied warships and transports off Norway from April to June 1940.
