Over the years I've seen many Hindenburg photos, but this page has many that were new to me:

I had seen the first one, but it looks like the Hindenburg had a nice dining room. I wonder how good the food was!

Fascinating photos, Roger - eerie and ominous, gives goosebumps to see!

Now, Eva, I had some delicious wiener schnitzel while in Germany, learned to like sauerkraut because it was so different from the canned stuff my grandmother ate, and also enjoyed spaetzel (did I spell that correctly?). The strudels were wonderful and so were those beer gardens in the Black Forest.

Wiener (Vienna) Schnitzel is actually Austrian...Well, I agree on Strudel and anything bakery (and chocolate).
Spätzle are easy and quick to DIY - stir (with a muddler) or knead
4 eggs,
0.66 lbs of flour,
some salt and
~ 125ml (small teacup) of water (amount depending on egg size, also more for whole grain flour, which I'd prefer - whole grain spelt flour)
until the dough is smooth and blisters. Let it rest in a warm place for 20 min., then roll it out (just with a spoon, not as meticulously as for cookies!) on a chopping board and chop stripes of the dough into boiling water. The Spätzle are ready when they swim atop (takes two minutes...).

Just can't imagine that people felt safe in those things-all those explosive gas waiting to be ignited.

Just sit in the non smoking section
RE: The Hindenburg - LincolnMan - 07-08-2016 09:25 PM
Interesting actually. Was smoking allowed?
RE: The Hindenburg - RJNorton - 07-09-2016 03:55 AM
Yes, there was a smoking room. Here's a page with photos:

Ha! I thought there might be.
