What was the purpose of the Nuremberg Rallys?

Answer 1

To fully understand the Nuremberg rallies, one must go back to WW I and the Treaty of Versailles in which Germany was forced to sign (Germany never officially surrendered in WW I). Germany was severely punished and suffered immensely while, at the same time, having a pathetically weak leadership. Along with suffering through the Great Depression with the rest of the world, Germany had to abide by the treaty's rules which caused even more economic harm and runaway inflation.

Hitler came to share power with Germany's leaders (before taking it all) and created the national socialist party (NAZI).

Like the United States has its Democrat and Republican conventions for support, elections, etc., the Nuremberg rallies were the NAZI party "conventions" so to speak. However, they were used to develop support and gather more membership for a one party country as well as to show strength and unity in a newly formed party as they were quite large, elaborate, and very impressive.

As history shows, it worked and worked quite well. The Nuremberg rallies were moved, eventually, to Berlin and eventually, canceled as the pressures of war mounted and, as well, the Propaganda from the Reichstag served the purpose equally well.
