Zeppelin Artwork

| 4. Juli 2010

Via my friend Nick’s blog I found the following magnificient artwork by Remton. Please pay him a visit his page on Deviant Art. It is titled “Luftflotte” and this says it all: Just notice the details, the woman (possibly a pilot) is wearing a headband with an Iron Cross and the Zeppelin (very futuristic, I [...]

Unapologetic Patriotism in Germany

| 3. Juli 2010

A while ago, I ranted about Germans being completely devoid of patriotic feelings. Well, it seems we are changing.

A different kind of Zeppelin

| 25. Mai 2010

In this post I posted an image of the classic Maybach Zeppelin. It seems there is a new. more moderen, less classic version out: I guess this Zeppelin is beyond what most of us can afford. It still looks slightly Dieselpunk, despite its modernity. And no, I am not dreaming of owning this Maybach Zeppelin. [...]

Another unfulfilled vision

| 27. April 2010

On this blog I have on a number of occasions shown examples of things that were supposed to happen or be available in the future but never did or were. Here’s another one. It’s a bit different since it concerns a new use for a giant Zeppelin, which were available in 1930 (that’s when the [...]

The Hindenburg – More original footage

| 6. März 2010

Another video with original footage of the iconic Hindenburg. All the fotage is from a visit to New York (obviously prior to her crash). I think this is one of the most dieselpunk real life videos I have ever seen. Please enjoy it and the beautiful swing music. People who looked at this item also [...]
