Wehrmacht Day: tanks and guns on the Zeppelin Field, 1937

Light tanks with turret numbers clatter past a grandstand solid with spectators; across the field a battery of long-barrelled guns fires, smoke drifting in front of the flag masts; then the troops stand in blocks before the white platform under a forest of swastika flags. The Day of the Wehrmacht closed each rally: in 1937 the army that had been rebuilt since the reintroduction of conscription in March 1935 put on a mock battle before the public.
