Eagle and swastika formed by performers, Olympic Stadium 1937

On the darkened field, lines of performers in white run forward, stop and hold while others move on, until their bodies trace a vast eagle with outspread wings standing on a swastika, lit so that the figure glows against the black ground; ranks of other participants stand motionless below it. The stadium had been built by Werner March for the Olympic Games of 1936; afterwards it served the regime as a stage for such mass spectacles, in which thousands of individuals became a single emblem.
