The tragedy that
costed several human lives was at the same time an enormous loss
for the German prestige. While after World War I, the aviation success
and the Zeppelin type aircrafts had verified the supremacy of the
Germans on air, there came the crash of the Hindenburg airship in
New Jersey. The accident that occurred under unspecified circumstances
came to wreck the so-called German domination in that sector.
