This book is an up-to-date, illustrated 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 ten 'Reich National Party Conventions' in the city of Nuremberg. Each rally was bigger than the last, with the number of visitors growing to over half a million, and this growth reflected the spread of National Socialism across Germany. This book epxlores how the rallies were organised, 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 dealt with as well as the story of Leni Riefenstahl's filming of the rallies, in particular the Triumph of the Will in 1934. Author Andrew Rawson has trawled through the Hoffmann archives in Washington to select the most dramatic and informative images and has visited Nuremberg to gain new insight into the most spectacular propaganda exercises since the games of Ancient Rome.
