The United States had imposed a military embargo on helium against Germany.
However:
The gas used for lift was not the main culprit of the Hindenburg accident. The outer skin had been doped in compounds to water proof and reflect light. Unknown at the time was the combination of the two doping compounds was a main ingredient in solid rocket fuels.
Helium would not have prevented the Hindenburg accident.
Documents later uncovered show that the German government discovered their mistake and quickly covered it up. This action has led many people to the false understanding that the hydrogen lift gas caused the accident.

Why was Hindenburg filled with hydrogen?
They couldn't get any helium because the US had forbidden its allies to sell helium--an important war materiel--to Germany.
Why did the hindenburg not use helium?
It wasn't. The US was the biggest producer of helium, and didn't want to sell any to Germany. So they used Hydrogen, which is also light, but very flammable.
Why was the Hindenburg filled with gas?
The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin (a German made lighter-than-air airship), similar to a modern day blimp. It was filled with hydrogen gas that gave it enough lift to allow it to get off the ground. Modern day blimps & balloons use helium gas. Helium has less lift capacity than Hydrogen, however it is not flammable. Hydrogen is flammable.
What were the Nazi doing the fall of the Hindenburg?
The Hindenburg was a commercial airship operated by the Zeppelin Company to provide transatlantic passenger service. While the Nazi Party used the Hindenburg and other airships for propaganda purposes, they were not military aircraft nor were they operated by the Nazis. (Also, the Nazis did not like the fact that the airship was named after Paul von Hindenburg). During 1936, the Hindenburg made 17 roundtrip flights across the Atlantic, including 10 to the United States.Travel on the Hindenburg was very comfortable and luxurious--much more enjoyable than transatlantic air travel today. It was expensive, though, and Hindenburg passengers frequently included famous people and celebrities.It is important to understand that Germany was not at war with the United States (or anyone else) during 1936. However, the United States did refuse to sell helium to Germany during this period. Had the Hindenburg been filled with helium, rather than hydrogen, the fire and crash at Lakehurst, New Jersey, would not have occurred.
Why is helium safer than hydrogen for airships?
Helium, but there are more limited supplies of it. At the time of the Hindenburg, the US was the sole source with all of it coming from Texas oil fields mixed in with the natural gas. It was there because of the combination of deep Uranium Ore deposits and Salt Domes, Uranium decay alphas captured electrons becoming Helium then got caught in the salt domes with the natural gas on top of the oil. The US refused to sell Helium, a strategic resource to Nazi Germany. Helium is a Nobel Gas thus inert, Hydrogen ignites and burns easily.
Does target sell helium balloons?
Yes
What does the renaissance festival sell?
They didnt
Why wasn't the hidenburg filled with helium instead of hydrogen?
Helium was originally planned for use in the Hindenburg because of it being non-flammable, however, the US had the major reserves and was not willing to sell their helium as they were using it for their rigid airships too. They then chose hydrogen because it was lighter, had better lift, and was much cheaper.
Do they sell 'taro' in Germany?
yes they do sell 'taro'in Germany they use it mostly in spanish retraunts
Why is helium useful?
Helium is the least dense, or lightest gas in the world. It can be used to float airships. Most amusement parks use helium to float balloons to sell to kids. It is not harmful of course!
