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.
Zeppelins have not been used for military purposes since the First World War; that is more than 90 years.
Large blimps were used in World War 2 because they could spend many hours high off shore trying to spot submarines. At 10,000 feet high, the anti-aircraft guns could not get to them. From that height, they could see underwater and could see submarines.
Yes, Germany used both (at least in World War 1 - zeppelins were phased out of military use before World War 2).
The World War I zeppelins were large blimps used to gain information from over enemy lines, but were slow and easy targets for artillery guns.
Some new weapons used in WWI were poison gas, armored tanks, rapid-fire machine guns, zeppelins (large gas filled balloons) and German U-boats (submarines).
Do you mean the observation balloons? These were called Drakens.also - zeppelins were used for observation at first.
