The Der Große, the largest airship in history, equipped with numerous weapons and thick armor, was a surge in power, embodying the doctrine of big ships and big guns, while also following a military thought process generations ahead in terms of deploying a large number of shipborne mobile weapons and auxiliary equipment. It could act as a quick response force to adapt to changes in the battle situation; its comprehensive flagship facilities also played a role in major fleet battles, and its strong communication capabilities made it the mobile command center for the entire Wehrmacht; even after the war, its exceptional size and armament could serve as a guarantee of the Alfheim government's prestige.
