1st Reich Party Convention in Nuremberg

Heralded by the motto „Victory of Belief“, the first Reich Party Convention of the NSDAP takes place on 1 September 1933 in Nuremberg. In bombastic displays and processions the National Socialists celebrate their coming to power and manifest their sense of solidarity and subjugation of the individual to the state.

The highlight of the event is the entrance of the “Führer” Adolf Hitler into the newly-constructed Reich Party Convention Compound. On Hitler’s orders the mass rally is preserved as a documentary film by the producer/director Leni Riefenstahl.
