Description

verso labeled in typeset: SCH319898 The final day of the great Nazi Party Congress was the day of the armed forces and 100,000 men with heavy and light artillery, with air defense guns, tanks, motorized and horse cavalry and more than 100 war planes and heavy bombers performing with clock-like precision. Above is the impressive scene in the Leopold Arena as Reichsfuehrer Hitler addressed the vast throng just before the military display.
