It is interesting that the Zeppelins are making a comeback. I can remember seeing a couple of the originals that the US Navy took possession of, back in middle twenties. Then a couple of them were destroyed by powerful wind shears that actually broke them in the middle. And I still wonder if our government was justified in refusing to sell the helium that would have prevented the Hindenburg disaster. I doubt very much that the Hindenburg could have been valuable in WWII, by which time fighter planes with rockets could easily have destroyed it.
And just to be mischievous, I remember Molotov, but not with two "a's".
