EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1916: A Fearful Sight - The Eiffel Tower Quakes in Terror as the Zeppelin Menace Looms Over Paris Amidst the chaos and destruction of the First World War, an unusual and surreal scene unfolds in the heart of Paris. The iconic Eiffel Tower, once a symbol of French pride and resilience, now stands in fear as the ominous shadow of a German Zeppelin passes overhead. In this image from circa 1916, the tower appears to quake, wobble, and shiver in terror, as if curled up in fear at the sight of the airborne behemoth. The Zeppelin, a symbol of German air power during the war, was a formidable weapon capable of delivering bombs from the sky. Paris, a city known for its beauty and sophistication, was a frequent target of these aerial attacks. The fear of the unknown and the unseen was palpable, and the once-proud Eiffel Tower was not immune to the terror that gripped the city. This fantastical image, though not a reality, captures the essence of the fear and uncertainty that defined the war. The quivering tower serves as a poignant reminder of the human emotion and vulnerability that lay beneath the surface of the conflict. As the Zeppelin moves on, leaving the city to catch its breath, the Eiffel Tower stands tall once more, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
