Bombers over a chimney and a bomb released

A formation of bombers passes over a lone factory chimney; beneath an aircraft a bomb slides from its rack, dark against the bright ground far below; the lattice girders of a large bridge stretch above rooftops and a wooden fence. The view from inside the aircraft marks the material as German newsreel footage. The source places the sequence in Rotterdam, where the bridges over the Maas were fought over from 10 May 1940.
