B-26 Marauders Jettison Bombs Over Occupied France (1944)

Striking high-angle footage shows USAAF Martin B-26 Marauders flying at 2,000 feet over German-occupied France as they jettison their excess bombs onto a hillside below.

With invasion stripes clearly visible, the formation leaves a trail of powerful explosions across the terrain before continuing its mission.

A rare view of medium bomber operations in the European Theater.
