Luftschiffertruppe, a German word meaning "airshipmen's troop", was the designation of the German airship units. ==Military lighter-than-air aviation== The origin of the Luftschiffertruppe was the ''Versuchsabteilung der Luftschiffertruppe'' ("experimental airship unit") first raised in 1884 as part of the army which was tasked with the evaluation of tethered observation balloons, first using ball-type balloons but in 1896 introducing elongated Parseval-Sigsfeld kite balloons. On August 1, 1914 the distinction was made between * ''Feldluftschiffer'' units operating observation balloons at the frontline, * ''Festungsluftschiffer'' units with territorial defense duties, * the ''Luftschifftruppe'' operating free-flying airships. In October 1916, the Feldluftschiffer were subordinated to the "Commanding General of the Air Force". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luftschiffer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
