Scope and Content
Amateur footage shot by the Nazi party official, Regierungsbezirkdirektor of Arnsberg (director of the administrative district Arnsberg). Two Nazi events are intermixed throughout. KODAK. 00:13 Reich Party Day (1937 or 1938) in Nuremberg. POV of a spectator of huge crowd, marching men with swastika flags, Hitler (?) walking to the podium in the very far distance, pans of crowds giving Nazi salute, including men in the immediate FG. 01:02 From within the crowd at a Hitler parade in Berlin, Hitler barely visible stands in an open car to review marching columns of uniformed Nazis. According to IWM, this parade is in celebration of Hitler’s 50th birthday in April 1939 (need to confirm date, as the Reich Party Day footage cannot take place in 1939 since 1938 was the last year these rallies were held). 01:36 In Nuremberg: Hitler and a large entourage walk past a crowd of saluting spectators. Hitler (?) speaks at a podium, barely visible, then leaves the podium area and walks in front of the crowd again.
