The German bombing of Rotterdam, also known as the Rotterdam Blitz, was the aerial bombardment of Rotterdam by the Luftwaffe on 14 May 1940, during the German invasion of the Netherlands in World War II. The Dutch surrendered in the late afternoon of 14 May, signing the capitulation early the next morning.
