I have found this site that shows "historical or reportage" clothes for zeppelin crewmen :unsure: As there are swastikas, I assume nazi period :unsure: . Civilian use of zeppelins in nazi period is not fictional.

Are this clothes for civilian use: liners ...?

Were zeppelins or dirigibles used militarly by any of participants in/during WWII? As bombers?

Well excepting the Sentinel Empresses (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=10232.0), I don't think so.
