Dear Mr. Miller,
First I thank you for your season's greetings and the bronze medal that you were so kind so send me along with the "National Geograhic Magazine". It was really a good idea and a nice Christmas present.
Now let me turn to your questions. Yes, of course, I knew Captain Lehmann very well, and I spent a lot of time with him. He was not only a good commander, but he had a great passion for music. When the electric installations were getti- ng more and more complicated he wanted me to join the crew. Enclosed please find 10 photos, one with Captain Lehmann on it. I hope you will like them. After I recovered from the burns in the Fitkin Memorial Hospital in Neptune, New Jersey I returned to Germany together with 5 other crew members, who were Dr. Eckener, Mr. Dörflein, Mr. Sauter, Mr. Lau and Mr. Bauer, in the passenger ship (Ocean Liner) "SS Europa", which was at that time the fastest German ship. You are right, I was an important person in the investigation, be- cause I was the chief electrival engineer. I don't know for sure how long the investigation took, but the result of it was not satisfactory at all; there were several theories of what could have been the cause of the disaster. As you know, the most recognised theory is that it could have been sabotage. My last stay in America was in the above-mentioned hospital. I am hoping that you like my small report and that I could have helped you a little bit, and I am glad to have been able to meet some of your wishes, because my grand-child does most of the work.
