Article on German military ballooning, credited to Illustrite Zeitung (possibly w:de:Illustrirte Zeitung, a general newspaper for which we don't currently have an entry).

Secrecy:

It is very seldom that the general public knows anything about the air ship0 division of the German army, which is continuously working and experimenting on one corner of the Tempelhof Field, whence ascensions are made. Even Berliners rarely have an opportunity of seeing any of the maneuvers of this department, with its wagons, well drilled soldiers and peculiar apparatus.
