Paratroopers in a harbour city and a parachute on a bridge

Parachutes float down over a harbour of quays, cranes, a water tower and a large building with a tower, overhead tram wires in front; soldiers in German steel helmets run close together along a wall, one crouching over a parachute spread on the pavement; a white canopy hangs caught in the steel girders of a bridge as soldiers crouch at its end. German newsreel footage; the source places the landings in Rotterdam, where German troops seized the bridges over the Maas on 10 May 1940 and held them until the capitulation.
