Hi All

Some days ago I received a nice photo of two steuermanns from Zeppelin ship.

Photo was taken in Allenstein, where was located one of zeppelin base (base was in village near Allensien called Diwitten)

That was a reserve base for Koenigsberg as I know.

On photo reverse is date - 5 December 1915. As I know in this time in Allenstein was only LZ26, and I think that these soldiers are from this ship.

I'm looking for any information about LZ26 (Z XII) from time when he was in Allenstein. I am also looking for names of crew members from this ship.

Maybe there is possibly to recognize soldiers from my photo.

That will be great.

If someone could help me, I will be appreciated.

please take a look, It's clearly visible that patches are in different colour

I think that guy wich is standing on right had a red colour patch, but the one wich is lying on a floor looks like to have it in a different colour, maybe white or yellow ?

Maybe You know why they had the same patch but in different colour ?

Hi, thanks

Is possible also that the man from first pgoto was a machinegun schotter also having an engeneer patch?
