In the meantime, Luftwaffe Colonel Franz Ritter George C. Scott boards with the intention of protecting the Hindenburg as various threats have been made to down the airship, which some see as a symbol of Nazi Germany.Ritter is assisted by a Nazi government official, SSGestapo Hauptsturmfhrer Martin Vogel Roy Thinnes, who poses as an official photographer of the Hindenburg. However, both operate independently in investigating the background of all passengers and crew on the voyage. Ritter has reason to suspect everyone, even his old friend, Countess Ursula von Reugen Anne Bancroft, whose Baltic estate in Peenemunde had been taken over by the Nazis and appears to be escaping Germany to visit her daughter in Boston. ........
