Mortar fire towards a church spire

A soldier crouches beside a mortar, his hand at its muzzle, as another lies over the equipment; across a flat stretch of land small figures move and a church spire rises on the horizon; the dark hull of a vehicle passes through smoke beside a light-coloured object. German newsreel footage of the campaign in the West, May 1940.
