Pretty sure the crew of Hindenburg included a whole bunch of waiters, cooks, etc. just like the Concorde had flight attendants on top of its flight crew of 3. Hindenburg was basically a small cruise ship in the air.

Basically traveling on it was more like a nice sleeper train with cabins and a good restaurant than a modern airplane.
