    Storyline

    Did you know

    • 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.
    • Goofs
      The incident depicting the Hindenburg's crew repairing the tear in the Zeppelin's cover as it drifts lower and lower over the Atlantic is factual; however, the event occurred on the Graf Zeppelin, not the Hindenburg.
    • Quotes
      • Goebbels: There is no resistance movement, Colonel!
      • Colonel Franz Ritter: That's reassuring, coming from the Minister of Propoganda.
    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with the 1936 Universal logo followed by a newsreel prior to the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Deleted scenes were added back into the film for television airings, including one in which Goebbels shows Ritter a display of items used in attempted anti-Nazi attacks, including a bomb found on board the ocean liner "Bremen".
