Attack of the Zeppelins
Ойын-сауық
During World War 1, the Germans launched a new kind of terror campaign that rewrote the rules of war. For the first time in history, innocent civilians were bombed in their homes. The bombings were delivered by a machine called the #Zeppelin. For 18 months these enormous #airships bombed Britain, while #military #engineers struggled to find a way to stop them. This arms race has left behind a series of mysteries that engineer Hugh Hunt attempts to unravel.

He was too old for military service. Totally indiscriminate Zeppelin attacks were the beginning of the area bombing strategies of all sides in both wars.The road to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
