Erika Altschul (Zeppelin)

Erika Altschul (Elke Sommers) is one of the main antagonists in the 1971 film Zeppelin.
She is a scientist working onboard the brand new Zeppelin LZ36, She is clad in a leather zip up World War One era Flight coat with a huge v shaped tulip style collar, Brown leather gloves, High heel lace boots and a brown leather flight cap only showing her face. In the beginning of the film Erika is seen as a spy in a town that the zeppelin later bombs, It is not until later on we see Erika in her full Leather form with her collar raised up high above her hair, She protests as to why a man like Geoffrey Von Richter Douglas (Michael York) is doing on her zeppelin, He is meant to be an inspector who is really a spy for Britain to see the Zeppelin inside and out, the only one who seems to notice is Erika, but blinded by a new love for him she does not reveal his identity to the crew. As the film progresses we see Erika with her blonde hair and later unzipped coat, eventually She does take off her coat showing a white tulip collar dress, in which she takes off just before crash landing her zeppelin, However before she can make it out of her zeppelin, they crash and she is thrown to the flooded floor violently knocking her out, Richter makes it out just before the zeppelin explodes taking the evil Erika with it.
