An incredibly rare WWI First World War silver plated Imperial German plaque commemorating Franz Stabbert - Kapitanleutnant of Zeppelin LZ93 (L44) after it's crash in France, 1917. The plaque with makers marks to verso for ' J. Godet & Sohn ' measures 23cm x 16cm, and features an Imperial German Zeppelin badge to the top, and reads ' Franz Stabbert - Kommandant L44 = Fur Herausragende Leistungen Im Luftkreig - DELAG - Friedrichshafen - 1917 '. (For Outstanding Performance In The Air). The border features an Imperial Cross to each corner. Within it's original presentation case. Incredibly rare and interesting piece of history. Note: 'L44' denotes the 'tactical numbering system' of early Zeppelins, it's production number was LZ93. Kapitänleutnant Franz Stabbert was a Kapitänleutnant of the German Kaiserliche Marine. Stabbert was in command of LZ 93 when he took off from Tønder in the night of 19 October 1917 to participate in a so-called silent raid over England with 10 other airships. After completing its mission the LZ 93 set course for Tønder to head home on the morning of 20 October 1917. The ship however came in trouble over France near Chenevières as it was passing a storm. The ship climbed to a height of 6 km in an attempt to outflee the storm, but suddenly the ship was hit by anti aircraft fire from the French army-artillery 174th section of Chenevières and Saint-Clément southeast of Luneville in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle and the region Lorraine. After being hit, the ship caught fire and ultimately the hydrogen filled gas cells exploded before plunging nearly completely vertical to the untouched French soil below. The LZ 93 was photographed during its fall to Earth and the pictures were published in the weekly Le Miroir on 4 November 1917. All crew onboard the airship perished in the disaster and the body of commander Stabbert can be seen next to his ship on the picture taken from the wreck. It is believed that the crew died when they were crushed by the zeppelin when it smashed into the ground, suggesting that the crew was fully aware of their 6 km long descent. The crew were all buried in the city of Gerbéviller. Four other zeppelins who had accompanied LZ 93 on its raid were also shot down above France.
