For a picture freya.jpg possible, probably to supplement the Ferry type Freya fB.
In figure 0401 IN RZ III FuMG 80 Freya.jpg it is possible to add
The column type of the Freya LZ ( title derived from the
manufacturer of mechanical parts of the firm. Luftschiffbau Zeppelin G.m.b.H. in Fridrichshafen ). However, this is about an unusual type of Freya - Breitbandanlage with roll dipoly for the possibility of changing the frequency in the širšim zone.
