Hi All,
In answer to Philip's question as to why the Parisians appear to be so nonchalant, it may be because scary as they were, Zeppelins made lousy bombers. Operating at night, the crews considered themselves lucky if they bombed the right city. Hitting their desired target with the desired effect was a rare event.
In one of my books about the Zeppelin raids, one story was of crews returning to Germany without knowing exactly what they had bombed. When they finally received copies of the English newspapers describing what had been bombed on the night in question, only then did they let it be known what their intended target was. The wily Hun indeed.
Score and fold,
Thumb Dog
