Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen. The fire risk is why blimps use helium today.

May want to re-think that one.

No. We banned the export of Helium (inert gas) to Germany in the 1930’s. Hydrogen, is a powerful energy storehouse which when combining with oxygen causes a very rapid release of energy. That is why the Hindenburg went up so quickly.
