flag In July 1936, the German airship Hindenburg flew low over southern England, passing near Southampton, Calshot, and Totton, drawing astonishment from residents who watched the massive silver vessel glide silently overhead. flag The LZ 129, adorned with swastikas, was en route from New Jersey to Frankfurt and briefly captivated onlookers with its size and quiet presence, though the flight was not associated with mail or chocolate drops as sometimes claimed. flag The event marked one of the final public appearances of the airship before its fatal crash in Lakehurst, New Jersey, in 1937, ending the era of passenger airships.
