Frozzer Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited July 16, 2014 by Frozzer
Claudius Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Great photo!!! Too bad those Steuermann patches didn't come with the photo.
The Prussian Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Hello! I love that photo!!!! Unfortunately I don´t have any infos about that Luftschiff. I only know, in Allenstein was the "Militär-Luftschiffhafen" and there also was the "Feldluftschiff-Trupp Nr.16" (disolved 1917) The LZ26 was tactically named as Z XIII. It had a volume of 25.000 cubemetres. It´s first flight was 14.12.1914 and it has been broke up august 8th 1917 in Jüterbog
