I know how recent research has suggested stuff about the outer skin being painted with rocket fuel - the film's researchers were probably aware of this. This affected him deeply when the Hindenburg exploded. Eckener had been offered a supply of helium which he declined in 1929. Some facts have not been well-known, especially the "Untold Story" or "Secret" mentioned in the titles of the docudrama. Actual eyewitness testimonies were used, and tell the story of the Hindenburg's demise. Hindenburg: The Untold Story takes you into the investigation the disaster, which all of it seems interesting. The reenactment is pretty good and the Hindenburg is animated so realistically. This is by far the best Hindenburg documentary out there.
