Falling bombs and burning streets

From a great height a stick of bombs falls towards flat, patterned fields; at street level a row of houses burns behind tram poles and a round traffic sign, smoke rising from the roofs; flames fill the ground-floor windows of a stone corner building beside a street lamp, and rubble lies on the pavement. Apparently German newsreel footage; according to the source Rotterdam, 14 May 1940.
