Smoke over a hill and a boat at the canal

A small aircraft dives through a hazy sky; beyond a row of rooftops a cloud of smoke rises over a long wooded hill; soldiers in German helmets clamber down the grassy bank of a canal to a rubber boat on the water while others crouch along the crest. German newsreel footage; according to the source the crossing of the Albert Canal, where German troops seized bridges and the fort of Eben-Emael on 10 and 11 May 1940.
