Zeppelin travel humorous postcard: Friedrichshafen - Chemnitz - Memel
Memel is now Klaipeda in Lithuania. This postcard looks pre-WWI, but such flights did happen in the early 1930s: AI comment: "Historic "Chemnitz-Friedrichshafen" and "Chemnitz-Memel" refers to famous airship flight routes and postal drops serviced by the historic Graf Zeppelin in the early 1930s. Commemorative postcards from these specific 1930s mail delivery drops are actively traded as sought-after philatelic items"
