Highly decorated for his exceptional actions during the war. Noël managed to send important military information to the allies regarding the Atlantic wall, hiding the information under his own paintings. After attending a German officers request, he painted Marshal Rommel´s portrait which pleased him so much that he asked Noël what could him offer in exchange. Noël got a special pass allowing him to paint the port and ships in the Saint-Brieuc area. During 1943 and 1944 Noël sent regularly information which was studied in London. Noël was arrested in 1944 by the Gestapo and sentenced to death, but the day before the execution was exchanged against a German General.

Eugen Bentele Hindenburg survivor Great War Zeppelin Ace Signed The Great War 22 Limited Edition Cover. Eugen Bentele was one of 20 engine mechanics onboard the Hindenburg for its final flight. Born in Friedrichshafen on October 18, 1909, Bentele took on an apprenticeship with Maybach Motorenbau when he was 14. He spent the next four years working 52 hour weeks, learning the theory and practice of building and maintaining engines. In the four years following his apprenticeship, from 1927 through 1930, Bentele worked in various departments throughout the Maybach company, and in his last year there he worked on VL 2 airship engines, both assembling them, and testing them on a test rig. He was among the Maybach fitters who, in May of 1929, worked through the night to assemble three new VL 2's for emergency shipment to the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, which was stranded in France, four of its five engines broken down. In April of 1930, Bentele received a call from August Grözinger, Flight Engineer for the LZ 127. Bentele, Grözinger said, you know your way around a VL 2 engine. Do you fancy working on an airship? It was an easy decision for Bentele, and in May of 1930 he officially joined Luftschiffbau Zeppelin, at first in the Propulsion System Testing and Wind Tunnel Department. He was also supposed to act as a replacement onboard mechanic, should one of the LZ 127's usual mechanics fall ill or otherwise be unable to make a flight. Bentele waited an entire year for his chance to take part in a flight, and finally on May 12, 1931 he made his first flight as an engine mechanic. Good Condition.
