German troops and captured soldiers in the Netherlands

Cars and a column of soldiers halt in a village street with tram rails, a windmill rising above the gabled houses; in a city street a German soldier in a field cap walks beside two men in round steel helmets and dark greatcoats, apparently Dutch soldiers taken prisoner, one of them gesturing as he speaks; on the approach to a large steel arch bridge a German officer walks with a soldier in a round helmet. German newsreel footage. The Dutch army laid down its arms on 14 May 1940 and signed the capitulation on 15 May.
