What happened to the German Zeppelins in WW1?
In June 1917 the German military stopped using Zeppelins for bombing raids over Britain. Although a tremendous psychological weapon, they had actually caused little damage to the war effort. Of the 115 Zeppelins used by the German military, 53 were lost and 24 were damaged beyond repair.
What was the Zeppelin raid of 1916?
On the afternoon of Sunday 1 October 1916, eleven Zeppelins took off from their North German bases on a bombing raid against Britain. Among them was L31. Commanded by the 33-year-old airship ace Heinrich Mathy, it was one of a new generation of super-Zeppelins designed to overpower the increasingly sophisticated British air-defences.
On 24 April 1912 the Imperial German Navy ordered its first Zeppelin – an enlarged version of the airships operated by DELAG – which received the naval designation Z 1 and entered Navy service in October 1912.
