Hugo Eckener at his desk, 1937

In an office papered with a striped floral pattern, a heavy-set man with white hair and bushy brows, Dr. Hugo Eckener, speaks animatedly into a telephone with a pipe in his other hand, then talks across the desk, strikes a match and draws on the pipe. Eckener had flown the Graf Zeppelin round the world in 1929 and was one of the best-known Germans in the world. He never joined the party; after he refused to lend his name to the Rhineland plebiscite of 1936, Goebbels had it struck from the German press.
