In the year 1928 the German-speech journal Preßburger Zeitung in Bratislava and also the Austrian Neue Freie Presse in Vienna published many articles and news from northern countries. By the highlighted 100th anniversary of Henrik Ibsens birth and 70th birthday of Selma Lagerlöf, the top medial event was the rescue of an Italian zeppelin crashed by overflying the North pole with Umberto Nobile. Also the famous Norwegian traveller Roald Amundsen died by this accident. In the study we aim to describe the contradictory interpretation of this accident in the Slovak German-speech journal in Bratislava and austrian journal in Vienna. The analysis of reflections was made on the basis of ideological changes and socio-political developement in Italy at the end of the twenties.
