Description

Postcard includes photo of Hitler walking in front of line of soldiers, swastika in background. Back includes green stamp in upper right corner next to swastika and “Reichsparteitag der N.S.D.A.P in Nürnberg” stamped in black ink.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: Real photo postcard of Hitler and Himmler reviewing his “Leibstandarte” troops, his personal “honor” guard- or bodyguard unit- with special postmark advertising the rally and its date. Hitler’s customary speech during this annual rally of the Nazi Party in Nuremberg introduced the so-called “Nuremberg laws” which would deprive the Jews of their German citizenship, and would inexorably culminate in their systematic removal from Germany.
