The LZ 127 model in the permanent exhibition. The Graf Zeppelin is depicted as it appeared from 1933 to 1935. The starboard side, with its black, white, and red flags, is clearly visible. Image: Markus Tretter

The photo shows the ship's paint scheme in the summer of 1933: the swastika is being painted on the port side. Image: Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen

The same painting scheme applied to all German aircraft. On the Zeppelins, these markings were particularly striking and enormous due to the size of the craft. Image: Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen

On the port side, the model has the same markings on the vertical stabilizers as on the starboard side. The historic airship never had this colour scheme. Image: Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen
