Zeppelin Hindenburg’s Salvaged Postmark Device
Object blog
by Cheryl R. Ganz, PhD, Smithsonian Curator Emerita
After the inspectors and officials examined the wreckage, surviving crewmembers searched the smoldering girders for personal effects. Rudolf Sauter, chief mechanic of the LZ-129 Hindenburg, had escaped from his landing station in the lower fin when the zeppelin burst into flames at Lakehurst, New Jersey, on the stormy evening of May 6, 1937.
