The district leaders of the party assembled on the Zeppelinwiese in the morning of 2 September. A huge review of 160,000 officials and their followers stood in rows, divided by one wide middle avenue, with three narrow lanes on each side. In an impressive demonstration of mass movement, waves of flag bearers came over the embankment in the rear of the field. they swept through the blocks of men standing at attention, marching twelve abreast with their banners high through the center avenue, and in single file through the narrow lanes. Hitler was greeted by his uniformed followers in the parade ground and by 100,000 spectators in the stands with cheers that reverberated throughout the arena. In his speech, he congratulated the district leaders and the party as a whole upon their spectacular political victory and promised National Socialist supremacy in Germany for a thousand years to come.
