I am not sure if anyone else has noted this, but a quick bit of research reveals that one of Albert Speer’s first assignments was to design the Nazi parade grounds in Nuremberg, or the Zeppelinfeld (I believe Moorhouse noted this in Chapter 5, but did not expand on it). These are the same grounds shown in Triumph of the Will, one of the most iconic pieces of Nazi propaganda created during the era.
The grounds were designed specifically to hold over 300,000 individuals, and make the Third Reich’s supporters look as numerous as possible. Specific camera angles and structures were used with the goal of making Hitler appear god-like on film. Another student posted a similar photo, and I would like to point out that this structure was part of the parade grounds designed by Speer:
I do not want to go too in-depth, as I think we are watching Triumph while in Germany, but this again clearly proves just how meticulous the Third Reich was. They rarely did anything on accident – every building, plan, and piece of media had a purpose for furthering their agenda. Perhaps this is why the Nazi state is so interesting to analyze.
