Frozzer Posted July 16, 2014 Share 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.

The Prussian Posted July 18, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
