minus-squarepedz@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 months agoWeird to equate airships with communism, but I guess lacking education will do that. The British and the French also had airships. I live in Montréal and there are historical pictures of a British airship flying over the city and moored at the St-Hubert airport. There’s even a song about people going to see it at the airport.

What makes it so distinctive it has to be the Hindenburg? Soviets often had airships as part of their propaganda materials. So that’s why it’s included here I think.
