1932 Graf Zeppelin visits Rotterdam – Waalhaven Airport, Netherlands (Video)

Graf Zeppelin

On 18 June 1932 the Graf Zeppelin visited the Rotterdam airport Waalhaven during a promotional tour. On board Prince Henry the husband of the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina. They saw a great future for the Zeppelin, an enormous gas-filled and controllable balloon to travel quickly and comfortably over long distances with almost as much luxury as an ocean liner. The beginning of a new era! That is why this landing became the biggest aviation event (more than 100.000 visitors) ever to take place in Rotterdam. This film gives an impression of this event and is composed of material from various archives and filmmakers.
