Hindenburg was originally designed for helium, heavier than hydrogen but nonflammable. In the 1920s the United States possessed a monopoly on the production of helium, obtained as a byproduct of natural gas production. The U.S. Congress banned its export under the Helium Act of 1925 in an effort to conserve helium for use in U.S. Navy airships. Eckener expected this ban to be lifted, but to save helium the design was modified to have double gas cells (an inner hydrogen cell protected by an outer helium cell).[1] The ban remained however, so the engineers used only hydrogen despite its extreme flammability.[2]

Interesting coincidence that this happened to a *Nazi* airship, one of a multitude of these airships world-wide which had before then safely flown millions of passenger-miles... just in time to herald the age of a nascent passenger airplane industry. And WWII. Maybe just a wee bit too tidy a package for some of us more suspicious types.
