Amazing historical Photograph

Posted By on 8. Oktober 2010

My sincerest thanks and kindest regards once again to Luftschiffharry for sending me this terrific scan of an actual historical photograph:

SL 20 und SMS Grosser Kurfürst

Schütte-Lanz Luftschiff SL 20 and König class battleship Großer Kurfürst, most likely during or just before Operation Albion in 1917. I do not think this is a propaganda photograph but who knows. In any case, Harry got the photograph from ebay for just one Euro. Some people just have all the luck…

  2. That really is an exceptional picture. Strangely, never considered eBay for historical pictures, going to shoot over there now :) Thanks for the share!

    Neither did I, but it’s never too late to learn something new.
    And thats quite a nice shop, you’ve got there. But just a word of caution: Next time, use your name, and not a search keyword, please.
    Otherwise I may just get the impression you are doing a little link-building in the community.
