Why were the Xmas Zeppelin decorations designed to hang going straight down?



BTW, I recall reading an account from the British perspective, after the entente cordiale. Seems neither Tommies nor Jerries wanted to go back to their grim business. Thus, two british officers were instructed to restart the war.

The one with the highest rank picked up an Enfield and starting to systematically shoot all the german soldiers close by. These were at the time greeting them, and merrily offering wine bottles, just a few feet away.

The officer then gave the Enfield back to the open mouthed Tommie whom he took it from, and commented.

"Done. We must now hurry back, there's a War to be won..!"


Needless to say, it worked.

I kinda like the Imperial German ones, the Zeppelins and what appears to be the noggin of Kaiser Wilhelm.
