“An amazing collection of original photographs and postcards
relating to the Nuremberg rallies of the Nazis . . . the book is
dazzling.” —War History Online This book describes the background
to and the development of the Nazi Party Rallies held at Nuremberg
each September from 1933 to 1939. These Reichsparteitage (National
Party Days) were vast and meticulously staged managed extravaganzas in
which ritual and ceremony played an important part. The Rallies had
two key objectives. The first was to focus public attention on the
successes of the Nazi Party and connect with the public conscience and
build a close bond between Party and people. Even more important was
the Rallies’ role in presenting Adolf Hitler as the savior of the
German nation sent to restore national pride, power and prosperity
after the shame and economic disaster of the post war years and the
deeply resented Versailles Treaty. The Hitler Cult was blatantly
promoted with revolutionary use of propaganda by the latest technology
and iron control of the media. The author’s superb collection of
postcards and images takes the reader on a visual journey through each
year’s Reichsparteitage. The Nazis’ Nuremberg Rallies, which also
includes character studies of the principal Nazi figures, is a truly
fascinating way to understand this uniquely successful and threatening
phenomena. “Excellent . . . The book really does bring each and
every rally to life, the book also has some rare photos that I
haven’t seen before and it also displays posters and postcards
designed for the events. So you get to see the propaganda on multiple
levels.” —UK Historian
