The following year, on 29 February, Göring issued an order to scrap it together with the LZ 127 (the firts airship to bring the name of Graf Zeppelin) and with the unfinished LZ 131, their metal being needed by the war industry.
Thank you for this reply. So bad that they finished this way...

On a side note, the engines look very small compared to the balloon and I know that in SH3, aircrafts' propeller is always much smaller than in reality...
