Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Hindenburg used helium instead of hydrogen?

No. Two reference sources state the Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen, not helium: one notes it was designed for helium but the export ban forced engineers to use only hydrogen, and another says early airships including the Hindenburg were filled with hydrogen.
