EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Peter Strasser (1876-1918), the renowned Chief Commander of the German Imperial Navy Zeppelins during World War I. As the main force behind the German bombing campaigns from 1915 to 1917, Strasser's leadership was instrumental in shaping the course of aerial warfare during this period. Born in Vienna, Austria, Strasser joined the Imperial German Navy in 1894, eventually rising through the ranks to become a Fregattenkapitan (Frigate Captain) and commanding officer of the Zeppelin fleet. His tenure as a commander saw him overseeing the planning and execution of numerous raids over enemy territory, most notably the bombing of London in 1915, which marked the first time a city had been attacked from the air. Despite the devastating impact of these raids, Strasser remained a controversial figure, both within the military and among the public. Critics argued that the bombing campaigns were ineffective and caused more harm to civilians than military targets. However, Strasser believed that the raids were a necessary response to the Allied naval blockade of Germany and a means of demonstrating the country's technological prowess. Tragically, Strasser's tenure as a commander came to an end on the night of September 5, 1918, when he was killed during the last airship raid over Great Britain in the L.70. The loss of such a pivotal figure marked the end of the German Zeppelin offensive and dealt a significant blow to morale within the German military. This photograph, taken circa 1916, captures Strasser in his prime, exuding an air of confidence and determination as he prepared for another mission. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often controversial role that figures like Strasser played in the history of aerial warfare during World War I.
