The Hindenburg was built and flown during the Nazi era. It and the airships Graf Zeppelin and Graf Zeppelin II were used as propaganda tools by the Nazis when they weren't carrying passengers. The Hindenburg, of course, crashed in Lakehurst, NY. There was rumor that the fire was caused by a small bomb placed at the order of Hermann Goring, head of the Luftwaffe, who hated airships. This was never proven. The Grafs were broken up after the outbreak of the war so that their framework could be melted down to build airplanes.
I have a partially finished scale model of the USS Macon, a slightly smaller contemporary of these ships over on Zone12 of the Team9000 classic server. Go on and visit if you ever want to get a feel for how big these things really were.
