Enormous Zeppelin Viktoria Luise Named for Kaisers Daughter
The Viktoria Luise, named for Kaiser Wilhelm's daughter, dwarfs nearby workers as a vast dirigible. Germany fields many such airships able to carry tens of men and dozens of heavy bombs. Bombs hurled toward Antwerp weighed over 600 pounds, with at least four dropped from a single vessel. Dirigibles outperform planes for scouting, while two airships over Paris released bombs. French planes caused no comparable damage in German cities.
