Bonus of seeing Germany collapse after victory? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

windfall

'bonus' is the definition.
(windfall is a kind of bonus)

'seeing germany collapse after victory?' is the wordplay.
'seeing germany' becomes 'd' (international vehicle registration code).
'collapse' becomes 'fall' (I've seen this before).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'victory?' becomes 'win' (I've seen this before).
'd'+'fall'='dfall'
'dfall' after 'win' is 'WINDFALL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for windfall that I've seen before include "Unexpected gain" , "you're lucky to get" , "Bonus not expected" , "An unexpected piece of luck - maybe an apple" , "Lucky acquisition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
