Like a Hindenburg ladder?

It's probably dead or gone up in flames, I would guess.

True.

Yeah, if we could break into the Smithsonian.

Just pass everything else by and go straight for the Hindenburg Ladder.

And I'd be like, I'd get it home and be like, I don't even have bunk beds.

So this is all getting lots of press.

Like, this is a big deal.

Remember, the Hindenburg was part of a planned transatlantic fleet.

So this is big news.

One thing that a lot of people forget is that the Nazis were in charge of Germany at the time.

The Hindenburg was a German ship.

It was a civilian ship, but it still had big, fat swastikas on its tail fins.

Oh, yeah.

And as everyone knows, the Hindenburg went up in flames.

I think it's no coincidence that its tail went up in flames first because why wouldn't it?

So the Nazis were like, hey, we're trying to get everybody to like us to psych them out.

And let's send the Hindenburg on a three-day publicity tour around Europe, essentially.

That was its maiden voyage in March of 1936.

Right.
