Euring and his father's name (as well as his brother's) was Francis. I wonder if these are the same Euring's that you are referring to and if so what their connection to the Hindenberg was.

You can reach one of them at poppe@eet.bme.hu (http://www.eet.bme.hu), his name is Dr. Andras Poppe and he is the vice head of the Electronic Department of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. I even can see similarity between Eckner and Andras. I hope I am not wrong. There are relatives of Dr. Eckner Hugo living in Budapest Hungary!

Because Andreas Horn told me how he hasn't seen one. So we don't really know Eckener's real political views. And according to a biography, in 1945 he was caught by French occupation forces for "collaboration with the Nazi Party" and fined, and had to be (politically) rehabilitated.

I have a German-language biography of Dr. Eckener by Rolf Italiaander that might shed a little light on this. Hopefully I'll have some time this week to read through and see if anything comes up regarding Dr. Eckener's marriage(s). I'll let you know what I find out. Take care, Patrick Hi there,
