Unsere Zeppeline (1938) - Construction of the LZ 130

Описание к видео Unsere Zeppeline (1938) - Construction of the LZ 130

Released a year after the Hindenburg disaster, this film documents the construction process of the next zeppelin, the LZ 130. At this stage seen in the film, she was to have been nearly identical to the LZ 129 (Hindenburg), with only a small number of minor improvements (notably, her tail fins were 60 centimeters shorter in addition to some slight changes elsewhere). Later redesigned with new passenger decks and tractor-type engine cars designed for helium, the LZ 130, named the Graf Zeppelin (II), would ultimately be the last zeppelin ever flown.

From the DVD "Zeppelin Filmdokumente," a three-disc box set of Zeppelin footage. Pitch and speed corrected to 24 frames per second and video upscaled to HD.

I've often seen similar footage been misused as the Hindenburg or even the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin. One distinction seen in this film is that many rings were constructed in a separate ring-assembly shed on the other side of the air field, and had to be hauled in by workers through rail tracks.
