During World War I, German zeppelins were primarily used for reconnaissance and strategic bombing missions. They conducted aerial surveillance over enemy positions and dropped bombs on cities and military targets, aiming to inflict damage and create fear. Despite their initial effectiveness, zeppelins were vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire and fighter planes, leading to significant losses as the war progressed. Their use marked an early phase of aerial warfare, showcasing the potential of air power in conflict.
