Famous blimp that blew up because of the hydrogen?
On Thursday, May 6, 1937, the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg attempted to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, New Jersey, with 97 passengers aboard, when it caught fire and was destroyed. As a result of the incident, 35 passengers were killed and one person on the ground. For newsreel footage of the Hindenburg and of the disaster, see the related link.
Did the Hindenburg carry an escape plane?
No, there was no escape plane on the Nazi propaganda airship known as the Hindenburg.Even if there was one, the passengers would not have been able to reach it in time. Hydrogen is highly flammable. The moment the first flame, by whatever caused the disaster (we still don't know for sure) touched the hydrogen, it started to burn up quicker than a rag doused in gasoline.Whether you believe it was a design fault, an accidental spark, a deliberate attack to stop the Nazi propaganda (the Hindenburg was being used by the Nazis to show off air superiority), whether it got caught on the mooring mast which ripped the balloon, static electricity and so on, the Hindenburg burnt up in less than thirty seconds. It would have taken two minutes to board the plane, another two minutes to fire up those old engines and an incredibly good pilot to not hit the ground at such a low docking height.You can see actual footage of the actual disaster, in which you can also see there is an absence of an escape plane.Some airships were designed to carry planes, such as biplane class planes or scout planes, and were used for a short time as airborne aircraft carriers.For example, the USS Akronand the USS Maconwere two such airships used for this.However, no, the Hindenburg did not have an escape plane on board. Even if it did, it would not have made any difference (aside from adding more fuel to the fire).

World War 2 combat films made during the war?
There is some amazing footage shot by combat cameramen. These men were in the military, and went in with the attacking troops just about everywhere US troops saw action. They were unarmed, because they had all they could deal with trying to keep their cameras out of the water, mud and sand. The cameras weighed seventy pounds, and held enough film for about two minutes of shooting. A dark place was needed to reload the film, which could be hard to come by, but they improvised brilliantly. There were also still photographers on most operations. All this film and the photos are in the National Archives. Color film had just been invented right before the war, and there was not much available. The Navy quickly bought up all the color film stock the Kodak Corporation had in its warehouses, which was not a lot. But there are some Navy films in color, also in the National Archives. Fighter planes had gun cameras mounted in the wings, beside their machine guns. These automatically started rolling when the pilot pressed the trigger, so he could get confirmation of destruction of enemy aircraft. The pilot could also start the camera without firing the guns. This footage is also in the National Archives. There were two big newsreel companies during WWII. They made short films of the news, both overseas and on the home front. These were shown in movie theaters, in between feature films. Most Americans went to the movies once a week. They changed the features about that often, more movies were made back then, admission prices were much cheaper (nine cents for kids), and there was not yet television of any kind in homes. Movietone News was one of the newsreel companies, and I forget the other. The entire library of one or the other was given to the University of South Carolina some years ago. They're trying to stabilize and preserve it. This was usually not actual combat footage, for the most part, but a lot of overseas stuff and just after-action shots.
