The pride of the Nazis ‘queen of the sky’ Hindenburg destroyed in 34 seconds! Behind Hitler’s plot?

6 May 1937. 7 in the evening. After crossing a long distance from Frankfurt, Germany, the Hindenburg is coming down to New Jersey, America. Nazi pride ‘Queen of the Sky’. Many people have gathered to see the landing of the airship! There was no bigger airship in the world! It was only 24 meters shorter than Titanic in length. But suddenly all the wonder changed to panic. With the sound of a sudden explosion, everyone looked and saw that the dream car was burning in flames! The Hindenburg was destroyed in just 34 seconds, less than half a minute. Even today, there is no end to the mystery surrounding this accident. But why was Hindenburg such a tragic end? There are several theories. Among which the most stirring claims, it was Adolf Hitler himself! Really so?

Before talking about that, it is important to understand what an airship object is. It is very different from airplanes. The main difference is the mood! Airships are much larger than airplanes. The size of the Hindenburg has already been mentioned. There were separate rooms for passengers. There was a huge dining room, a study… even a huge lounge. Where the grand piano was kept. Any airship is more or less the same. From such luxuries, the clean fare was eye-opening. 700 dollars to count to visit Hindenburg! It is worth several times more in today’s terms. If you calculate how much it is in Indian currency, you will be shocked. Understandably, it could not be climbed there without the extremely rich. The Hindenburg carried 36 passengers. But there were 61 crew members. It is clear from this, ensuring passenger comfort was the first condition.

Even today, there is no end to the mystery surrounding this accident. But why was Hindenburg such a tragic end? There are several theories. Among which the most stirring claims, it was Adolf Hitler himself! Really so?

A Frenchman named Henri Giffard built the world’s first airship in 1852. The speed was roughly six miles per hour. Many called this type of aircraft ‘Zeppelin’ after the inventor of the vehicle, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Airships became increasingly popular over the decades. But surely the largest airship was the Hindenburg. Now let’s go back to his story.

Hindenburg’s body caught fire while landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey. He is still in the sky. Then it hit the ground 200 feet below. It was quickly destroyed by fire. In all, 35 people lost their lives. The rest survived but all were injured. But why was the Hindenburg destroyed? There was no less confusion about this. The three main possibilities that come up, the name of Hitler first!

But why would Hitler want to destroy the super-aircraft that became the pride of the Nazis? In fact a man named Hugo Ekner was the owner of Hindenburg’s manufacturing company. He was the apple of Hitler’s eye. At that time, sitting in Germany and opposing Hitler was not a trivial matter. Hugo Ekner publicly defamed Hitler. And that is right from the time of his rise. That is why the Fuehrer wanted to arrest him in 1933 and put him in the Guard! The jailing could not have been prevented if the then president had not been protected. The President’s name is spelled out here. He is Hindenburg. Out of gratitude, Ekner decided to name the world’s largest airship built in 1936 after him. But the Nazis wanted the plane to be named after Hitler. Ekner did not listen to that request at all. Naturally, Hitler did not take it well at all.

On top of that, under the supervision of the Nazi forces, flatterers were given the opportunity to be the crew of the plane. Ekner did not accept that later. As a result, Hitler had ample reason to be angry. But nothing suspicious has been found in the remains which lends credence to this theory. There was no sign of any bombs or explosives of any kind. So in the end, however sensational, this theory didn’t hold up.

There were also other theories. The sky was cloudy on the day of the accident. The Hindenburg was struck by lightning when it landed! Many people think so. But these two theories were not finally accepted. Rather, the third theory is now most accepted.

What is that theory? Decades of research have revealed the issue of hydrogen leaking. It is believed that the fire broke out instantly due to this incident that day. There was no time to prevent such a sudden accident. Hindenburg crumbled before his eyes. This accident seems to have decided the fate of the airship. Despite being a luxury vehicle, the airship had to suffer from the fear of accidents. Compared to the risk of accidents in airplanes, rent, everything is low!

As time passed, the airship fell behind. But he remained in history. The amazing journey of luxurious arrangements in Dhimetal’s journey has now sunk into the womb of the past. But the Hindenburg remains like a fairy tale. The tragic story of its disappearance in a sudden explosion also remains.
