English: Photographs of the German airship L-44 slaughtered at Chenevière by the DCA (Defense against aircraft) when returning from a bombing raid on England. Photographs published in the weekly Le Miroir November 4, 1917. Approximate translation of the text : Zeppelin airship L-44 Navy was shot at 1 200 meters Chenevières near Luneville. (...) This is the first of four airships, which on October 20, ended tragically on French soil the bombing made the day before in England. The L-44 had just passed Luneville and would join Germany. It was at 5 500 meters above sea level which is a great feat for an airship. DCA section commanded by Lieutenant Fenouillet and lieutenant Curie managed to touch. A fire broke out on board and made explosion before crashing vertically on the floor with his crew. A witness took photographs of left and right showing the fall of the airship. The top photograph shows the staff for the artillery section with the lieutenant Curie who set the fire. Here also the airship debris next to the corpse of the commander of the L-44.
