In the typed message to the reverse there appears to be some confusion and consternation between the correspondents regarding the supply of Zeppelin related postcards from Denmark and acquisition of further postcards from South America!

Hermann Ernst Sieger (1902 - 1954) In 1922 Sieger founded his eponymous company, publishing his first Zeppelin postal catalogue in 1930. This highly renown publication simply became known as the 'Sieger Catalogue'. Subsequently, he became curator of the collection at the Liechtenstein Postal Museum, as well as philatelic advisor to Zeppelin A.G. It is also noted that in 1932 Sieger became a founding member of the local NSDAP group in Lorch, and its group leader until 1945. Following Sieger's death the company was, and still is, run by family members.
