Footnote: LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin was a German-built and -operated, passenger-carrying, hydrogen-filled, rigis airship which operated commercially from 1928 to 1937. It was named after the German pioneer of airships, Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who was a \"Graf\" or Count in the German nobility. During its operating life, the airship made 590 flights covering more than a million miles (1.6 million km). It was designed to be operated by a crew of 36 officers and men. In May, 1930 the LZ 127 made its first visit to South America as part of a triangular flight between Spain, Brazil, and the United States. Providing passenger, express freight, and air mail service between Germany, Spain and South America was one function which was an early consideration in the design of LZ-127. It was intended in 1928 to offer passage between Friedrichshafen, Germany, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for 1,500 RM ($356). The 1930 flight originated in Friedrichshafen on May 18 and stopped first in Seville before leaving Europe. The Graf arrived in Brazil first at Recife (Pernambuco) docking at Campo do Jiquiá on May 22 where it was greeted by a crowd of more than 15,000 before preceding on to Rio de Janeiro. The airship then flew back north to Lakehurst, Nne Jersey before heading east over the Atlantic on June 2 to return to Germany with another stop in Seville. This flight led to the establishment two years later of the Graf's regularly scheduled commercial passenger, mail, and freight service between Germany and Brazil which operated from 1932 to May 1937. As with so many of its major journeys, the Europe-Pan American flight was largely funded by souvenir mails franked with special stamps issued by Spain, Brazil, and the United States good only for franking mails carried on one or more legs of the trip. The US issued stamps in three denominations: 65¢ (C-13: 1,135,000 printed; approx 20,000 sold\/distributed), $1.30 (C-14: 1,005,000; 30,000), and $2.60 (C-14: 1.070.000; 5,000) all three of which were issued on April 19, 1930. With the US already in the depths of the Great Depression, however, only about 7% of the very expensive stamps that had been produced had been distributed when the issue was withdrawn from sale on June 30. The more than three million unsold stamps were promptly destroyed by the Post Office thus making the three Graf Zeppelin issues by far the USPOD's smallest of the 20th Century. Despite the poor sales of these issues, the Post Office Department nevertheless paid the Zeppelin Company $100,000 for the carriage of US franked mails on the flight.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109061906709,"sku":"G8135","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/lz_127_graf_zepp_513f27a588c94.jpg?v=1692838962"},{"product_id":"lz-129-hindenburg-zeppelin-postcard-1936-g8134","title":"Lz 129 Hindenburg Zeppelin Postcard 1936","description":"LZ 129 Hindenburg Zeppelin Postcard 1936 - Black and white postcard entitled \"Webb Memorial Chapel, Madison, N.J.\", stamped \"Via Air Mail LAKEHURST Frankfurt-am-Klein\" and illustrating a split map of North America and Europe with the Hindenburg above and the date \"1936\" below, postmarked May 8, 1936 at Madison, New Jersey and postmarked May 14, 1936 at Frankfurt, Germany with a graphic of the Hindenburg on the German postmark, seven U.S. stamps, addressed to \"Mr. Albert Winter, Kreis Gross, Germany\", on card stock, 92 mm x 141 mm, near extremely fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109221224725,"sku":"G8134","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/62_c86ab113-06a0-4207-9c8d-1ecc68a946e7.jpg?v=1692839392"},{"product_id":"a-june-1940-luftwaffe-promotion-document-to-major-euteneuer-g13700","title":"A June 1940 Luftwaffe Promotion Document To Major Euteneuer","description":"A June 1940 Luftwaffe Promotion Document to Major Euteneuer - Official Docment 25.7 x 35.5 cm, with original Goering signature, extremely fine. \"In the name of the German Folk (\/people of Germany) - I promote the captain in the Luftwaffe (air force) Karl Euteneuer - effective the first of July to the rank of Major - I carry out this promotion with the expectation that the aforementioned will remain loyal to his oath, the he will thoughtfully carry out his duties, and to be worthy of the trust assigned to him. henceforth I assure him of my special protection. Fuehrer's Main Quarters, 20th of June, 1940\"","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109229875477,"sku":"G13700","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/a_june_1940_luft_53ce9601a031e.jpg?v=1692839415"},{"product_id":"employment-card-for-a-serbian-in-org-todt-g6968","title":"Employment Card For A Serbian In Org.

Anderson, White Plains, N.Y.\", on card stock, 86 mm x 136 mm, extremely fine. Footnote: LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin was a German-built and -operated, passenger-carrying, hydrogen-filled, rigis airship which operated commercially from 1928 to 1937. It was named after the German pioneer of airships, Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who was a \"Graf\" or Count in the German nobility. During its operating life, the airship made 590 flights covering more than a million miles (1.6 million km). It was designed to be operated by a crew of 36 officers and men. At the behest of American newspaper publisher Willaim Randolph Hearst, whose media empire was the major commercial backer of the project with four staffers among the flight's nine passengers, the Graf's \"Round-the-World\" flight in August 1929 officially began and ended at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey. As with many of the airship's other flights, however, its expenses were also heavily offset by the carriage of souvenir mails to and\/or from Lakehurst, Friedrichshafen, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. A U.S. franked letter flown on the whole trip from Lakehurst to Lakehurst, for instance, required US$3.55 in postage or the equivalent of roughly $45 in current dollars if based on the CPI. The $200,000 Hearst paid for exclusive media rights would currently be the equivalent of $2.5 million if figured on the same basis. As with the October, 1928 flight to New York, Hearst correspondent Lady Grace Drummond-Hay was on board making her the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by air. Also representing Hearst among the passenger complement were correspondents Karl von Wiegand and Australian Arctic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins, and photographer\/newsreel cameraman Robert Hartmann. The US Government was represented by Naval airshipmen LCDR Charles Rosendahl and LT Jack C. Richardson who flew as official observers. The Graf Zeppelin flew back across the Atlantic to Friedrichshafen to refuel before continuing across Eastern Europe, Russia, and the vastness of Siberia to Tokyo (Kasumigaura Naval Air Station) on a 101 hour, 49 minute nonstop leg covering 7,297 miles (11,743 km). Although the Soviet government had formally requested by radio to the Graf for the airship to overfly its capital, Moscow, Dr. Eckener declined because of the necessity \"to take advantage of the tailwinds and remain on the straight airline without deviation or halt\" necessary in order to reach Tokyo nonstop, a decision which resulted in considerable disappointment and annoyance on the part of the Russians. (To make amends for this perceived slight, a year later the Graf made a special two-day round trip flight from Friedrichshafen to Moscow on September 9–10, 1930 landing briefly to collect souvenir mail at Moscow's \"October Field\" where it was greeted by a crowd of some 100,000 people.) Crossing the inadequately mapped Stanovoy Mountains in Siberia proved to be a precarious venture with the Graf eventually being forced to climb to 6,000 feet in order to clear the range through a high mountain canyon with barely 150 feet to spare. After five days in Tokyo, the Graf continued across the Pacific to California crossing the coast at San Francisco before landing at Mines Field in Los Angeles thus completing the first ever nonstop flight of any kind across the Pacific Ocean, covering 5,986 miles (9,634 km) in 79 hours and 54 minutes. The 2,996-mile (4,822 km), 51 hour 13 minute transcontinental flight across the United States took the Graf over 13 states and such cities as El Paso, Kansas City, Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit before arriving back at Lakehurst from the west on the morning of August 29, three weeks after it had departed to the east on August 8. Flying time for the four Lakehurst to Lakehurst legs was 12 days, 12 hours and 13 minutes while the entire circumnavigation (including stops) took 21 days, 5 hours and 31 minutes and covered 33,234 km (20,651 mi).","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109879009557,"sku":"G8133","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/lz_127_graf_zepp_513f265dd54d2.jpg?v=1692841876"},{"product_id":"wwii-german-aviation-pocket-calendar-1942-g7157","title":"Wwii German Aviation Pocket Calendar 1942","description":"WWII German Aviation Pocket Calendar 1942 - Light blue hardcovered, entitled \"Luftfahrt=Taschenkalendar 1942\" with a navy blue stylized Luftwaffe eagle above on the front cover and an advertisement for Goetzewerk on the back cover, also in navy blue, originally with 190 pages. Inside contains British and German aircraft identification photographs, aircraft explanatory diagrams and photographs, interspersed with aviation oriented advertisements and a full twelve month daily calendar at the back, along with other items.

It was in the last five years of service, 1932 -1937, that Graf Zeppelin proved that an intercontinental commercial airship service was possible. For those five years it operated regular scheduled services during the summer season between Germany and South America. The Zeppelin Company built a large hangar in Rio de Janeiro, then Brazil's capital city, the construction of which was subsidized by the Brazilian government. Designed and assembled with parts brought from Germany, the hangar was used only nine times: four by the Graf and five by the LZ-129 Hindenburg. The Graf Zeppelin was too small and slow for the North Atlantic service, yet because of the blau gas fuel, was just capable of carrying out the South Atlantic route. The onset of regular airline service also led to a drastic reduction in the number of flights being made by the airship which, having logged almost 200 flights in 1930-31, made less than 60 in 1932.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110263804181,"sku":"G8139","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G8139_2.jpg?v=1768858963"},{"product_id":"condor-zeppelin-air-mail-brazzil-envelope-1930-g8140","title":"Condor Zeppelin Air Mail Brazzil Envelope 1930","description":"Condor Zeppelin Air Mail Brazzil Envelope 1930 - White envelope, marked with a printed \"SYNDICATO CONDOR Ltd\" airplane masthead in the upper left corner, inscribed \"MIT ZEPPELIN\" and \"EUROPA - SUDAMERIKA\" beside the masthead, cancelled with a stamp inscribed \"CONDOR ZEPPELIN LUFTHANSA, SERVICO AEREO TRANSOCEANICO, BRASIL-EUROPA\", addressed \"LUFTSCHIFF GRAF ZEPPELIN, FRIEDRICHSHAFEN a.B, ALLEMANHA\", no postmarks, two Brazilian stamps, 119 mm x 190 mm, extremely fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110264197397,"sku":"G8140","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G8140_2.jpg?v=1768859128"},{"product_id":"army-group-of-documents-gefreiten-grenadier-rgt-2-g8194","title":"Army Group Of Documents, Gefreiten, Grenadier Rgt. 2","description":"Army Group of Documents, to Gefreiten Fritz Klein, Grenadier Regiment 2; Award document for Iron Cross 2nd Class (22.

Recipient of the Iron Cross 1st, 2nd Class, and the German Cross in Gold. In 1943 he was prepared to lead a ten man Officer team which was to covertly assassinate the Fuhrer with his bodyguards during a visit to the Eastern Front. “The plan was that Hitler should be shot by a whole group of officers in the Army Group headquarters mess during a visit to the front which it was hoped to persuade him to make in view of the desperate situation. Captain Schmidt-Salzmann and Colonel von Kleist declared themselves ready to do it together with ten officers from the 3rd Battalion of the “Boeselager” unit which was still in the process of formation. Shortly before Hitler’s visit, however, the project had to be abandoned because Field Marshal von Kluge, who would inevitably been present at the time, could not bring himself to accept the idea. He had to be informed so that he might keep himself out of the line of fire. Kluge said that it was not seemly to shoot a man at lunch and there would also be a risk to a number of senior officers who would have to be there and could not be spared if the front was to be held.” In 1945 he was an instructor at the army riding school Krampnitz, near Potsdam.\n \nAt the conclusion of the Second World War Walter Schmidt-Salzmann rode his Shagya Arabian stallion, Lapis, to safety across war-torn Russia and Eastern Europe.
