Barbed wire, smoke and a gun team

Tangles of barbed wire hang between iron posts; dark ground and smoke follow, crossed by the streak of a tracer; on a smoke-covered slope soldiers in German helmets crouch beside a light gun with a wheel, one with a rifle, as flames and smoke drift behind them. German newsreel footage; according to the source the attack on a fort on the Albert Canal, May 1940.
