The Hindenburg was significant for being a symbol of Germany's advanced engineering and industrial capabilities during the interwar period. Built in the context of Germany's efforts to reestablish itself as a major power after World War I, the airship represented both technological innovation and national pride. Additionally, its catastrophic crash in 1937 marked a turning point in public perception of air travel, highlighting safety concerns and ultimately leading to the decline of the airship era.

Paul von Hindenburg [1847 - 1934] was the 2nd President of Germany who handed over to Adolf Hitler his political authority and power.
The airship LZ-129 Hindenburg was built for intercontinental passenger, mail, and freight transportation. Its primary route was between Germany and the United States, with additional flights between Germany and South America. At the time Hindenburg was designed, there were no fixed-wing airplanes capable of flying passengers and mail between Europe and America on a regular basis. Hindenburg's first flight was in March, 1936, and the ship was destroyed by fire at Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 5, 1937. Source: www.Airships.net
