What effects did the Hindenburg disaster have?
The Hindenburg disaster ended rigid airship aviation for commercial purposes, and since then no zeppelin has ever been used to transport passengers or cargo.
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.
What was the Hindenburg air ship used for?
The airship LZ-129 Hindenburg was used for passenger, mail, and freight transportation, mainly between Germany and the United States, with additional flights between Germany and South America. Hindenburg was the fastest way for passengers and mail to cross the Atlantic at the time; the airship crossed the ocean in 2-1/2 days, as compared to the 5 days required by the fastest transatlantic ocean liners. Although designed for passenger and mail transportation, the Hindenburg was also sometimes used as a propaganda tool by the government of Nazi Germany. For example, one of the ship's first flights was a propaganda flight in support of the March 29, 1936 referendum on the remilitarization of the Rhineland, and the ship made politically-motivated appearances above the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and the 1936 Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg.

Used in airships after the Hindenburg disaster?
Hydrogen
What characteristic of hydrogen caused the Hindenburg disaster?
Although hydrogen is an explosively flammable gas, indications are that the fact that the baloon was filled with hydrogen was not really much of a factor in the Hindenburg crash. Hydrogen burns very rapidly, and because of its density, flames would travel upwards, and be very short-lived. Most of the deaths from fire have been subsequently attributed to the aluminum paint used on the balloon.

What element was once used in the Hindenberg?
The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium forced the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas. (At the time the USA was the only country that could produce helium in the amounts required.) The Germans had considerable experience with using hydrogen and implemented necessary safety measures to preempt an accident. Prior to the Hindenburg disaster, their safety record was impressive.
