did the germans have zepplins?

Question

did the germans have zepplins when they fought in the battle of the buldge against persia? i saw this show and there was zepplins bombing antarctica during the battle of the buldge and the persian army was dodging them on their horses and hitler was yelling and sounded real mean. and i think sum penguins got hurt, i just wanna kno if this is true

Answer 1

Of course the Germans had zeppelins--they invented them.

As to the Battle of the Bulge, well, that was one of Hitler's weight-loss programs to beautify Germany, and of course the Persians decided to declare war because of this. Only thing is, they didn't want to fight on their own turf, so they negotiated a battle site with the Nazis and decided that Antarctica would be a good place since there were only the penguins (a neutral group) to deal with. The Germans agreed to bomb with snowballs.

It is reported that a penguin was injured when he tried to protest the invasion of neutral territory (his foot was stepped on by one of the horses trying to dodge the zeppelins).

The battle ended in a draw when the zeppelins ran out of snowballs and the horses complained of the cold and the Persians decided it was too cold to fight, which is why Hitler was yelling--he was calling the Persians wimps and was really, really perturbed that the zeppelin crews hadn't thought to pack more snowballs.

This is one of those little known tidbits in history that make it so interesting.

No penguins or horses were harmed in the writing of this reply.

Answer 2

Time to clean up your mess. first of all Zepplins were not used by anyone in WWII. Everyone did not want another Hindenburg. The Germans had zepplins that were removed after the Hindenburg incident. They were used in WWI, on London. Also the Persian Empire has been dead since Alexander the great took them out. Antarctica was not a battleground of WWII. Also the Americans and British are the ones fighting the Germans in the battle of the Bulge in Belgium

Answer 3

I am confused about this question.

There were Zepplins - large airships used. There was a battle of the bulge - where both German and Allied tanks met in battle.

I am not sure what the 'persian' army has to do with it?

I am sure that Zepplins did not bomb antartica!.

Dont know about Hitler yelling or any penguins dying.

Your not mistaking a cartoon with a history documentary?

Zeppelins were not used in the Battle of the Bulge, or in Antartica. They were rigid airships of a type originally manufactured by Luftschiffsbau-Zeppelin and consisting of a cigar-shaped, trussed, and covered frame supported by internal gas cells. The first Zeppelin airship was designed by Ferdinand, Graf von Zeppelin, a retired German army officer, and made its initial flight from a floating hangar on Lake Constance, near Friedrichshafen, Ger., on July 2, 1900. Beneath the 420-foot craft a keellike structure connected two external cars, each of which contained a 16-horsepower engine geared to two propellers. A sliding weight secured to the keel afforded vertical control by raising or lowering the nose, while rudders were provided for horizontal control. The craft attained speeds approaching 20 miles per hour.

During World War I the Germans achieved moderate success in long-range bombing operations with the zeppelin-type rigid airship, which could attain higher altitudes than the airplanes then available. On two occasions during 1917, German Zeppelins made flights of almost 100 hours' duration. Such performances led many people to believe that large airships would play a prominent part in aviation development. A number of Zeppelins were distributed to the Allied countries as a part of postwar reparations by Germany.

Of many subsequent zeppelins, the two most famous were the Graf Zeppelin, completed in September 1928, and the giant Hindenburg, first flown in 1936. The Graf Zeppelin inaugurated transatlantic flight service, and by the time of its decommissioning in 1937 had made 590 flights, including 144 ocean crossings, and had flown more than 1,000,000 miles (1,600,000 km). In 1929 the craft covered about 21,500 miles (34,600 km) in a world flight that was completed in an elapsed time of approximately 21 days. The Hindenburg, 804 feet long, was powered by four 1,100-horsepower diesel engines, giving it a maximum speed of 84 miles per hour. In 1936 this airship carried a total of 1,002 passengers on 10 scheduled round trips between Germany and the United States. On May 6, 1937, while landing at Lakehurst, N.J., the hydrogen-inflated craft burst into flames and was completely destroyed, with a loss of 36 lives. The Zeppelin airship works were destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II, and building of the huge rigid airships was never resumed.

Zeppelins are a type of rigid airship pioneered by German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century, based in part on an earlier design by Croatian aviation pioneer David Schwarz. Due to the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the term zeppelin in casual use came to refer to all rigid airships.

Zeppelin were used for passenger transport as well as for military purposes, operated by the Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-AG (DELAG). DELAG is the first commercial airline, served scheduled flights before World War I. After the outbreak of the war, the German military made extensive use of Zeppelins as bombers and scouts.

The German defeat halted the airship business temporarily, but under the guidance of Hugo Eckener, the successor of the deceased count, civilian Zeppelins experienced a renaissance in the 1920s. They reached their zenith in the 1930s, when the airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and LZ 129 Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights between Germany and both North and South America. The Hindenburg disaster in 1937 triggered the fall of the "giants of the air", though other factors, including political issues, contributed to the demise of the Zeppelin.

Answer 6

I can tell ya you have a lot of your facts mixed up. There was never any fighting where the penguins live. The battle of the Bulge was in Western Europe in 1944 and the Persians werent involved.

Answer 7

I pity the penguins!

Answer 8

Bout the time they invented them cuz
