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.

4th PARTY CONGRESS
(1st/4th Aug 1929)



This rally saw several riots and scenes of massed violence leading to it being banned in 1930 and 1931. The rally also did not take place in 1932 due to the lack funds brought on by a number of elections held that year and the vast expense involved in putting up candidates as well as costs involved in printing election material, and paying members to support the elections. By the end of 1932 the Nazi Party was effectively bankrupt.
