Aircraft attack a refugee road

Two single-engined fighters fly in low side by side; on a roadside bank men, women and children in coats run bent over into the grass; a fighter with an inline engine comes head-on at low height. The running crowd, sharply lit and closely grouped, appears to be a staged scene. Low-level attacks by German aircraft on columns of refugees in May and June 1940 killed many civilians.
