| | | | ------------ | |
| | The Germans turned this accident into a political accusation. The disaster had such a terribly high score of loss of lives due to the non-availability of helium, which the Americans had refused to sell to Germany. Instead the dirigible was filled with hydrogen. 1937-1942.
