tac, whose grandmother saw a Zeppelin shot down over England.
Tac, happy for your input. I don't normally think of Zepps and U-boats because I have never seen LP08's unit marked to them although a recent internet offering of a photo seemed to show a guy on a U-boat of uncertain date with an artillery. Although the LP08 is frequently accredited to naval use I find it odd that so many of the P04's are marked to naval units but we don't see any LP08's so marked.
