My grandfather helped build and fly the competing airships company Schütte-Lanz first on SL-1

[@82lube]

Babcock & Wilcox in Brunswick Georgia had a multi hanger facility built in 1893 & our historical society has numerous photos of U. S. Airships & German Zepplins being built side by side from 1896-1912.

[@peterpaul6662]

Nice Video, the main reason for the floating zeppelin hangar on the water was the posibility to turn the front into the direction of the wind.

[@Filip_Phreriks]

Cool

[@Pandamasque]

I like how even the very first model LZ1 alredy had a tribute to the future best band ever in it's name. Speaking of names, AßMAN is a fantastic one :D

[@Lawson80]

I love these German history videos. It's so hard to find in-depth unbiased videos on German war history, and it's refreshing to watch your productions. There were heros and great feats done on both sides, but you normal only hear about one side.

[@cmbaileytstc]

There’s no way you can escape the shadow of the most evil German of all though. And by this, I mean Kaiser Wilhelm.

[@saccorhytus]

@@cmbaileytstchow was he the evilest? what about the nazis?

Amazing History On Ballons, Airships & Zeppelin Life Story. Looking Forward To Part 2.

[@AR_434]

Wieder ein klasse Beitrag! Freu mich auf Teil II!

[@JoshuaC923]

What a legend!

[@SonicBoone56]

I wish people remembered Zeppelin as a persistent engineer who never gave up.

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

I'm always interested in military balloons and dirigibles. Thanks for an informative, in depth history video!

[@gafrers]

Quality as always

[@martinhubinette2254]

First? As someone that played Crimson skies back in the day im looking forward to part 2.

[@marcbordelon218]

Zeppelin was an amazing man. Such foresight, tenacity and courage! If only he had had access to a supply of helium gas....

[@BSport320]

Wait for the next part!

[@leezinke4351]

He seems like a cool guy to hang with.

[@polaxis842]

OK, now I have to set up my DosBox agan and play "Zeppelin: Giants of the Sky"

[@louisfkoorts5590]

The stuff that my dreams are made of. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@HappyDaysNI]

Excellent!!!

[@eugeniobb]

Very interesting

[@TestarossaF110]

Ooh! exciting.

[@TestarossaF110]

Wow, that was very interesting, I can't wait for the next parts! Thanks for the history lesson B Sport :)

[@slehar]

Ausgezeichnet! Dante!

[@Sonnell]

I think David Schwarz shall be mentioned here, who was at the same time also developing a rigid airship, and it is still unsure if Zeppelin simply bought his design to build his own. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Schwarz_(aviation_inventor)

[@BSport320]

There are a couple of people who worked on airships. This video concentrates on Zeppelin‘s story.

[@Sonnell]

@@BSport320 Ok, reasonable reply. Perhaps would be nice to mention this fact in the video as well :)

[@paulhelman2376]

You should mention Hoffm😊a

[@rjung_ch]

👍💪✌

[@bryansmith1920]

Count Zeppelin was a driven man, who because of his belief in himself finally achieved(and this is weir I digress from the producer of this vlog)his Notoriety in Europe is because he created the Monster of Aerial bombing, At least Alfred Nobel the Inventor of Dynamite, tried to make reparation for his discovery

[@minipaintingforyou]

When did they advance to LEDs? I‘ll get myself out, sorry 😅

[@shannonjaensch3705]

NASA....Wirlds biggest consumer of helium.....Space shuttle external fuel tank ='s helium filled blimp. Satellites ='s Satelloons/hellium filled balloons with transmitting devices suspended below. As for the space shuttle external tank blimp..... 8:26 minute mark says it all.

[@adr1uno638]

As much as I love Zeppelin, I remain French first of all 😅

[@danamarcy5414]

This entirely missed David Sharwz's contribution and the thief of his design. He didn't pay for it either. Dana Marcy

[@GammaFields]

I wonder if climate change would still be an issue today if we had all kept working on airships? We could use them to supplement shipping/delivery where ocean liners, semi trucks(lorys), & planes are used. Sure, it must be difficult to improve upon, but it can't be as difficult as landing on the moon; we as a species can accomplish great things with enough time and passionate minds.

[@GammaFields]

It seems they became obsolete once the world realized it wasnt good for combat anymore. The danger of it is merely an obstacle to overcome and shouldnt be something to stop it, the modern Zeppelin's have come such a long way but they could have been much better and put to good use if people weren't afraid.

[@JimmyandtheBlowouts]

Zeppeleen smh

[@brittennz]

Your review lack some background ...... what about this guy David Schwarz (aviation inventor)? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Schwarz_(aviation_inventor)
