THE ZEPPELIN HORROR
BROADCAST TALKS IN BRITAIN STORM OF CONTROVERSY LONDON, May 17. There is a storm of controversy over the British Broadcasting Corporation’s proposal to permit a scries of radio talks by Captain Johann Breithaupt, commander of one of the Zeppelins which raided London in 1915, killing 70 men, women and children and injuring 128.
“I do not see why people responsible for killing our women and children should be given facilities for telling the British public how they did it,’
says Commander Locker Lampson. Admiral Mark Kerr hopes that Captain Breithaupt will confine himself to the condemnation of air raids involving the loss of civilian life.
The corporation’s only reply to objectors is: “Switch off, if you do not like the talk.”
