Background: After 1933, the annual Nazi Nuremberg Party Rallies
were events of national, even international interest. Four rallies had
been held before that, however: Munich (1923), Weimar (1926) and Nuremberg
(1927 and 1929). The Nazis published a 62-page booklet to commemorate
the 1927 rally, which was a milestone in Nazi history. The Nazis had recovered
from Hitler’s imprisonment after the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, and though
still an insignificant movement nationally were able to bring tens of
thousands of their followers to Nuremberg to put on a show that impressed
Nazis from the provinces at least as much as it impressed the citizens
of Nuremberg.
