Yes, I know the aluminium doping used to paint the exterior of the Hindenburg was a far more likely candidate than the hydrogen in the gas cells to catch fire initially, and then certainly led to the sustained fiery destruction of the ship that killed 35 people. But comparing the Third Reich to something "coated with flammable paint and likely to burst into sustained flames any minute" just isn't as funny.
I actually have several books about zeppelins and other airships. And a DVD boxed set of The Airships, a documentary TV series by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Which I highly recommend, even if you're not an airship nut. It's a really good documentary.
