Soldiers storm along a canal bank

Two soldiers in German steel helmets crouch forward beside a bright flash of fire, one holding the nozzle of what appears to be a flamethrower; on a dirt road below a steep embankment soldiers dash across one at a time while others lie in cover; on a broad canal between high banks a small boat crosses. German newsreel footage; according to the source the fighting on the Albert Canal in Belgium, May 1940.
