Trivia

The actual site of the Hindenburg crash at Lakehurst Naval Air Station (now part of Joint Base Lakehurst-Dix-McGuire) is marked with a chain-outlined pad and bronze plaque where the airship's gondola landed. It was dedicated on May 6, 1987; the 50th anniversary of the disaster. Hangar #1, which still stands, is where the airship was to be housed after landing. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When the group of Hitler Youth arrive with their flags to waive goodbye to the Hindenburg, the flag in the top left corner of the movie has the swastika with the arms bent to the left (pointing downwards) instead of all the others bent to the right (pointing upwards). See more »
