REICHSPARTEITAG
(REICH PARTY CONVENTION)
The Reich's Party Convention Rally or Nuremberg Rally, as it is better known in English, was the annual celebration and propaganda show piece for the Nazi Party and was held every year from 1923 to 1938 (exclusively in Nuremberg from 1927). Nuremberg was situated at the centre of the Reich where the Nazi base was strong and the local organiser, Julius Streicher had strong connections to the local Franconian police force who were sympathetic to the Nazi cause.
3rd PARTY CONGRESS
(19th/21st Aug 1927)
This was the first rally to be held in Nurnberg, in the Luitpoldhalle, and was attended by a crowd of 30,000 enthusiastic Nazi's. Nurnberg was chosen for a number of reasons, not least of which was the fact that Hitler was banned from public speaking in much of Germany (however not in Nurnberg), the excellent road and rail links to other parts of Germany and the fact that the Nazi's could count on the goodwill of the local police force.
This rally saw several riots and scenes of massed violence leading to it being banned in 1928.
