There are many theories about the exact cause of the Hindenburg disaster. Regardless, no serious position can be advanced that hydrogen wasn't a significant factor in the speed, size, and scope of the fire/explosion.
If it had been filled with helium, as it was designed to be, it would have been a much smaller and less spectacular event--if it caught fire at all.
