Flying over the Kremlin
May 28, 1987 in 18 hours 40 minutes 19-year-old West German pilot Mathias Rust on amateur light aircraft flew to Moscow and landed in Red Square. Coincidentally, the same day over Red Square for a long time a helicopter flies producing photography. Therefore, when the duty of the Department of Protection of the Red Square Major Tokarev called and asked, "Who is it you fly?" - He replied: "Yes, it's being shot." Located next to the duty of the commandant department employee said: "Filming will start tomorrow."
The guard on duty Kosorukov Department reported that the plane flies over the area.
- You see, the cows of the area did not go, and the plane - dick with it!
Before you sit down at the beginning of the Moscow River Bridge and taxied on Vasilevsky descent. Rust circled over Red Square.
But Mathias Rust was not the first German who circled over Red Square
Hugo Ekkener (Dr. Hugo Eckener) was the first German who circled over Red Square
Here he is pictured ... [next]
Hugo Eckener was bezsmennym legendary commander of the airship LZ-127
Brief history and those. details LZ-127
After the First War Morova under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany lost the right to build airships in its territory. The ban in force until 1925. Immediately after its cancellation has begun a nationwide company to raise funds for a new ship. It was built and first flown in autumn 1928. Paying tribute to the protagonist of the rigid structure airship building new LZ-127 has received own name Graf Zeppelin.
The length of the airship was nearly 237 meters and a maximum diameter of 30, 5 meters. Volume shell was 105,000 cubic meters. meters. The carrier gas was hydrogen (safer helium produced while in the US, but America refused to deliver this gas in Germany). The empty weight of the structure was 55 tons. The movement of LZ-127 resulted in 5 of 530 hp engines everyone who worked on a specially designed gas. Cruising speed was 120 km / h. Without landing he could fly from 10 000 to 14 000 kilometers. The passenger cabin accommodates up to 35 passengers. The crew consisted of 26 people. The cabin was in a special gondola length of 40 meters, a width of 6 meters and a maximum height of 2, 3 meters.
So September 10, 1930 at 9 o'clock in the morning the German airship LZ 127 under the command of Hugo Eckener flew to Moscow and two hours circling over Moscow at an altitude of 150 meters, accompanied by neskolkoh Soviet aircraft. The airship landed at 12:05 on Hodynkovskom field. Landing helped about 200 Red Army soldiers, for all that there were about 3,000 spectators. The airship LZ 127 «Graf Zeppelin» was carrying 42 people team, 23 passengers and 21 kg of mail. A distance of 2 372 km airship crossed in 26 hours. At 14:38 LZ 127 sailed back to Germany via Rzhev, Nevel, Tilzit, Koenigsberg.
During the flight over Moscow the Germans made a photo with airships.
Perhaps you will be interested to look at Moscow in 1930 with a bird's-eye view.
The original Christ the Savior Cathedral
Kremlin
Stalin probably still asleep, because in Moscow 9am
And here is the Red Square mausoleum seen.
September 10, 1930 in Moscow for snow and no one takes away even in the Kremlin and Red Square
What the Germans saw the Red Square September 10, 1930 at 9 o'clock in the morning?
What stands in the middle of the barn Crane Square just before the Mausoleum?
I recall this photo taken Sept. 10, 1930.
So, thanks to the German airship LZ 127, we see Red Square under construction with guest tribune of Lenin's Mausoleum and one month before the delivery of the object.
The Germans probably did not understand what was Russian in Red Square building.
I bring a historical reference:
Until 1929, Lenin's Mausoleum was wooden
Construction of the stone mausoleum began in July 1929 and ended in October 1930. Then, on the same side of the mausoleum were erected rostrum guest (architect IA Frenchman) and decorated the graves near the Kremlin wall.
