Crossing the canal in rubber boats

On a bare hillside a low bunker stands under a burst of smoke; at the water's edge soldiers in German helmets shove a rubber boat loaded with men and rifles off the muddy bank; explosions throw up smoke beyond a dark embankment. German newsreel footage; according to the source the attack across the Albert Canal in Belgium, May 1940.
