EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unmistakable and ominous outline of a German Zeppelin airship, illuminated by the piercing beams of five searchlights against the night sky. The year was 1915, and the First World War had reached a new and terrifying height as the Zeppelin raids began on May 31st. These raids, carried out by the German military using rigid airships or zeppelins as bombers, caused widespread panic and considerable damage to London and other British cities. The sight of these massive, illuminated blimps looming over the city was a haunting reminder of the ongoing conflict and the danger it posed. The Zeppelin raids marked a significant shift in the nature of warfare, as airships were used for the first time as weapons of mass destruction. This historical photograph, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a chilling reminder of a dangerous and uncertain time in world history.
