Where Big Bertha Hit Paris, France.

Huge German gun nicknamed Big Bertha bombs Paris from 71 miles away. The first attack occurred on Good Friday; 1918; and continued there after.

Scenes of the destruction. A few men in front of bombed building (heads off-screen) one steps down through rubble to stand in centre of screen facing camera; dusts off hands. CU another bombed building - arch doorway wall with boards etc sticking out of plaster; rubble in front. Weird looking jumble: looking up at a bent balcony; w/ shutter crashed through balcony; and some kind of metal supports from building sticking through the plaster below. Then shot of bearded man in FG looking rt; crowd of Parisians in BG; pan rt. - the bearded guy and another by some big vehicle; or machinery.

CU (probably looking into building without front wall) of a dog on staircase; facing camera; with an old man standing beside staircase to rt; rubble below. Man speaks; gesturing; puts his pipe in his mouth; he climbs up over rubble; as the loyal pet (man's best friend even during bombing) starts to come to him; they both turn and go up steps. Shot of a bomb shell hole in a building revealing a staircase inside. GV same; people - family - posing inside the hole; and 2 men - 1 a French policeman; standing on pile of rocks outside; below the hole.
