The Hindenburg (film)
''The Hindenburg'' is a 1975 American Technicolor disaster film based on the Hindenburg disaster. The film stars George C. Scott. It was produced and directed by Robert Wise, and was written by Nelson Gidding, Richard Levinson and William Link, based on the 1972 book of the same name by Michael M. Mooney. A highly speculative thriller, the film and the book it is based on depict a conspiracy involving sabotage, which leads to the destruction of the German airship '' Hindenburg''. In reality, while the Zeppelins were certainly used as propaganda symbols by Nazi Germany, and anti-Nazi forces might have been motivated to sabotage them, the possibility of such an act was investigated at the time; ultimately, no firm evidence was uncovered to substantiate the theory. A. A. Hoehling, author of the 1962 book ''Who Destroyed the Hindenburg?'', also about the sabotage theory, sued Mooney along with the film developers for copyright infringement as well as unfair competition. However, Judg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hindenburg Omen
The Hindenburg Omen was a proposed technical analysis pattern, named after the Hindenburg disaster of May 6, 1937. It was created bJim Miekka who believed that it predicted stock market crashes. History The theory is largely based on Norman G. Fosback's High Low Logic Index (HLLI). The value of the HLLI is the lesser of the NYSE new highs or new lows divided by the number of NYSE issues traded, smoothed by an appropriate exponential moving average. The theory itself was promoted by Jim Miekka,.Morris, Gregory (2005). ''The Complete Guide to Market Breadth Indicators: How to Analyze and Evaluate Market Direction and Strength'', p. 219. McGraw-Hill. . Mechanics The pattern functions on a combination of technical factors that attempt to measure the health of the NYSE, and by extension, the stock market as a whole. The goal of the indicator is to signal increased probability of a stock market crash. The rationale is that under "normal conditions" a substantial number of stocks may ...

Hindenburg Line
The Hindenburg Line (German: , Siegfried Position) was a German defensive position built during the winter of 1916–1917 on the Western Front during the First World War. The line ran from Arras to Laffaux, near Soissons on the Aisne. In 1916, the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme left the German western armies () exhausted and on the Eastern Front, the Brusilov Offensive had inflicted huge losses on the Austro-Hungarian armies and forced the Germans to take over more of the front. The declaration of war by Romania had placed additional strain on the German army and war economy. The Hindenburg Line, built behind the Noyon Salient, was to replace the old front line as a precaution against a resumption of the Battle of the Somme in 1917. By wasting the intervening ground, the Germans could delay a spring offensive in 1917. A shortened front could be held with fewer troops and with tactical dispersal, reverse-slope positions, defence in depth and camouflage, Germ ...

Hindenburg Light
The Hindenburg light or Hindenburglicht, was a source of tallow lighting used in the trenches of the First World War, named after the Commander-in-Chief of the German army in World War I, Paul von Hindenburg. It was a flat bowl approximately diameter and deep, resembling the cover of Mason jar lid (''Schraubglasdeckel'') and made from pasteboard. This flat bowl was filled with a wax-like fat (tallow). A short wick (''Docht'') in the center was lit and burned for some hours. A later model of the Hindenburglicht was a "tin can (''Dosenlicht'') lamp." Here, a wax-filled tin can have two wicks in a holder. If both wicks are lit, a common, broad flame (''zungenfoermige Flamme'') results. The lights were also used in World War II in air raid shelters (''Luftschutzkeller'') or during power cuts, and mandated black outs as emergency lighting. The Hindenburg light is mentioned in the novels and ''Berlin'' by Theodore Plievier, as used on the Eastern Front and in air raid shelters resp ...

Hindenburg Disaster Newsreel Footage
Newsreel footage of the 6 May 1937 ''Hindenburg'' disaster, where the zeppelin ''LZ 129 Hindenburg'' crashed and burned down, was filmed by several companies. The film is frequently shown with narration, by WLS (AM) announcer Herbert Morrison, who was narrating a field recording on to an acetate disc, and was present to watch the zeppelin's arrival. Morrison's commentary was recorded by engineer Charles Nehlsen, but not broadcast until the next day on May 7, 1937, the first time that recordings of a news event were ever broadcast. In 2002, the audio recording was selected for preservation into the Library of Congress National Recording Registry. It has since been combined with the separately filmed newsreel footage. Most of the original newsreels have their own narration, and many composite edits have been made for documentaries dubbed with Morrison's commentary. Four newsreel teams were in attendance at the time of the disaster. They were positioned close to each other and a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hindenburg Disaster
The ''Hindenburg'' disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The German passenger airship LZ 129 ''Hindenburg'' caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst. The accident caused 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen) from the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), and an additional fatality on the ground. The disaster was the subject of newsreel coverage, photographs and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness reports from the landing field, which were broadcast the next day. A variety of theories have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The publicity shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the abrupt end of the airship era. Flight Background The ''Hindenburg'' made 10 trips to the United States in 1936. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
