My guy!
I've loved your F1 videos for a couple years now. Aviation history is another one of my favorite topics. I had no idea this was a part of your channel. 🤘🤘🤘

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.

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

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.

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

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

[msgfrmdaactionman]

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

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.

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

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

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

I heard that there are some books giving accounts of oblong elongated type crafts way before the late 1800's.
I think it was around the black plague era mid 1300's.

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

[polaxis]

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

[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.

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

[bryansmith]

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

[shannonjaensch]

NASA....Wirlds biggest consumer of 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 8:26 minute mark says it all.

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