Nazi Party Rally (Reichsparteitag) Parade Through the Streets of Nuremberg, Germany, c. 1933-1938
Crowds line a Nuremberg street to watch a Nazi Party rally parade, one of the mass political spectacles staged annually in the city during the 1930s. Nuremberg's Reichsparteitag events combined military-style marching formations, elaborate flag displays, and choreographed pageantry to project the power and unity of the Nazi regime. Photographs like this one document the scale of public participation in these events -- history that stands in stark contrast to Nuremberg's postwar role as the site of the International Military Tribunal war crimes trials.
