102: The Hindenburg Disaster

Hello! This week we are taking a look at the Hindenburg Disaster. In episode 100, we took a look at the history of Zeppelins themselves which was made up of many different periods of trial and error to create an airship that was suitable for both passengers and war. This week we take a look at the Hindenberg Itself, What went wrong, and the Hindenbergs Nazi Connections. We also look at the live recording from Herbert Morrison of a minute by minute live audio description of the Hindenberg Landing.
