Reichsparteitag "Großdeutschland" 1938 Viktor Ullrich

The Reichsparteitag (National Party Days) were, in the first place, great military style shows of different political themes with demonstrations and processions of hundreds of thousands of the National Socialist Party faithful. Almost resembling the celebration of a religious service, the intended effect was mass intoxication through force of will. Each Parteitag stood under a motto, and in 1938 it was the idea of 'Grossdeutschland' (Greater Germany), after the reunification with Austria and the Sudetenland. Until today, an NSDAP Parteitag (Party Rally) could not be shown in large, impressive color photos. Now, for the first time in full color are the demonstrations, parades, torch-lit processions, etc., from the SA, SS, Hitler Youth, BDM, Reichsarbeitsdienst (German Labor Service), party officials, and the four branches of the Armed Forces, as well as portraits of the leading politicians of the day, including Hitler, Goebbels, Hierl, Todt, and many others, all shown in brilliant full color. German language book with photo captions translated into English on a separate translation sheet enclosure. Large format book with many of the photos being full-page or gate-fold.
