Adolf Hitler addresses the crowd, Germany 1935

Before a densely packed crowd in which Nazi symbols are unmistakably present, Adolf Hitler bellows his message into the microphone. Mass rallies of this kind served the regime's propagandistic self-staging, meant to demonstrate the bond between the 'Führer' and the people. By 1935 NSDAP rule was firmly established, and public appearances of this sort took place regularly, for instance at party rallies or in connection with foreign-policy successes such as the Saar plebiscite. The camera captures both the speaker and the audience's response, conveying the suggestive power of such staged events.
