Talk:Nuremberg rallies

Proposal to restore part of the article

I don't understand why this was taken out of this article:

"The primary aspect of the Nuremberg Rallies was to strengthen the personality cult of Adolf Hitler, portraying Hitler as Germany's saviour, chosen by providence. The gathered masses listened to the Führer's speeches, swore loyalty and marched before him. The visitors of the rallies by their own free will were subordinate to the discipline and order in which they should be reborn as a new people." See: The Oath Under the Cathedral of Light at the 1936 Nuremberg Party Rally [1]

I would like to reinsert it somewhere. It is very relevant to understanding the purpose of the rallies. Marknw (talk) 16:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Translation

This is largely a translation of the German article "Reichsparteitage". It's still missing the chapter on the rally grounds (there's even an extra article on the topic in the german wikipedia). I haven't let a native speaker look it over yet. The article runs under the title, it should be "NurembErg rally", not "NurembUrg rally" - a redirect is there though. Also the links should probably be updated. --Ados 1 July 2005 14:51 (UTC)

The correct translation of "Reichsparteitag" is NOT "Imperial Party Convention". "Reich" literally means "realm", not "empire". 178.117.109.135 (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

A nice selection. Palm_Dogg 16:52, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Number of attendees?

How many people/soldiers attended these rallies. I don't think I've ever seen so many people let alone soldiers in one place before, they must be amongst the biggest rallies in history. Does anyone have any idea on numbers at the largest ones?

I came here wanting to know how many people showed up. But its not here. 68.173.158.64 (talk) 07:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Luitpoldhain: around 150,000

  Zeppelinfeld: around 250,000 participants plus 70,000 audience

Triumph of Will etc. contains footage of the Luitpoldhain.

Yes, I would like to see the article include attendance figures for all the rallies (even if they are only estimates). They seem like they might be the largest gatherings of people (or at least the largest political rallies) that had occurred up to that time. I would think the sheer numbers played a role in convincing the German people that Naziism was unstoppable. Some information on the logistics would also be enlightening - how the party transported that many people to Nuremberg, how they were fed, housed, etc. --Chetvorno^TALK 05:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Number of Nazis

It is not really certain, but it seems like 100,000 or above? --CariannaF 21:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I assume this is NOT the english translation...? I mean, I'm no doctor... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.211.173 (talk) 01:56, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Realm Party Day??

The first note has a curious translation of Reichsparteitag. Now, there are those who want to translate "Reich" as "Realm," which you'll not find in any modern scholarly material on the subject. Furthermore, to translate "tag" as "day" is goofy. True, "Tag" can mean "day," but not here. For example, the German parliament is the "Reichstag." It would be silly to translate that as "Realm Day."

So I propose to use the standard translation: "Reich Party Rally." Comments? Bytwerk (talk) 19:32, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Move proposal

From Nuremberg Rally -> Nuremberg Rallies. Since multiple rallies are listed here, I think we must move the article from singular "rally" into plural "rallies". I will move this by myself after a week if no one opposes in case someone opposes this pretty vital article about Nazis. PyroFloe (talk) 04:08, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Nuremberg Rally → Nuremberg Rallies – the article clearly lists multiple rallies that were held throughout the course of Nazi Germany, I think it is appropriate to make it plural like the Nuremberg trials and Nuremberg Laws (and also, should we lowercap the 2nd words? like the word "trials" or should we keep the capitalization like the word "Laws"?) PyroFloe (talk) 02:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Your questions can only be answered through move discussion, not technical request. (moved from WP:RM/TR, permalink). – Ammarpad (talk) 05:42, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

• I support this in principle, but shouldn't it be Nuremberg rallies? —Brigade Piron (talk) 15:37, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
• Here's a helpful ngram:[2] Support plural because this article deals with multiple rallies, support lowercase since there is no consistent capitalization, esp. in plural. (t · c) buidhe 09:48, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
• support Nuremberg rallies (lowercase), as dealing with multiple rallies. ----K.e.coffman (talk) 02:02, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
