Zeppelin Airship Attacks On London: Mapped - Sep 10, 2010 - 10:18 am | |
| Quote: | | A quarter of a century before the Blitz London was terrorised by another aerial menace: gigantic airships or Zeppelins larger than an upended Gherkin building.
From 1915-1917 German airships unleashed hundreds of explosives and incendiaries on London. These first ever air raids on the city are now largely forgotten in the popular imagination perhaps because of the much greater damage and death toll from the Second World War. But for Londoners of the time the attacks were unprecedented unexpected and lethal. |
