Thanks for sharing these links! That was a great video! I always love seeing old footge like this. The Flying Hamburger would certainly be the European equivalent of the Zephyr and obviously was quite a thrill for people to see at the time. You notice in the video all the people that are gathered on the station platform and the overpass.

I have an old Blackhawk 8mm film of streamliners of the 1930s. It has a short look at the Flying Hamburger.There is an interior shot showing the car full of Nazi soldiers.They appear to be having a good time riding the new train.I'm pretty sure this clip was taken from a propaganda film.
