Massive rallies held by the
Nazi Party in Nürnberg, Ger., to showcase its power. After smaller rallies at party conventions in 1923 and 1927, the first large-scale rally was held in 1929 and featured the nationalistic pageantry that marked subsequent annual rallies (1933 – 38). Attended by hundreds of thousands of Nazis, the rallies were carefully staged to reinforce party enthusiasm with martial songs, massed banners and flags, goose-step marches, torchlight processions, and lengthy orations by
Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders.
