How the annual rallies in Nuremberg were organised and their importance in the rise of National Socialism in Germany
Full of then-and-now illustrations, this book is an up-to-date investigation into the notorious Nuremberg rallies and the part they played in the Nazi's quest to establish their vaunted 1,000 Year Third Reich. Between 1923 and 1938 the Nazis held 10 'Reich National Party Conventions in Nuremberg. Each rally was bigger than the last, with the number of visitors growing to more than half a million, and this growth reflected the spread of National Socialism across Germany. This book explores how the rallies were organized, what the daily schedules were, who spoke at them, and who attended. The development of the Rally Grounds under Albert Speer's direction is also explored. The importance of the rallies in Joseph Goebbels' propaganda campaign is explored as is the story of Leni Riefenstahl's filming of the rallies, in particular Triumph of the Will in 1934.

Youths for the SS. Over 80,000 members converged on Nuremberg in September 1936 to hear the Führer’s instructions: You, my youth, are our nation’s most precious guarantee for a great future, and you are destined to be the leaders of a glorious new order under the supremacy of National Socialism. Never forget that one day you will rule the world! In March 1939 it was a legal requirement for children to join one of the Reich youth organisations and the State could place children in.
Behind, ready for the dedication of unit flags. SS units then filled the centre of the Luitpold Arena. As solemn music played, Hitler passed along the line of standards clutching the Blood Flag in one hand, while seizing each new flag in turn, a quasi-religious ceremony. The units then left the arena and marched to their staging area in the St Lorenz district, ready for the city centre march past.
