Over 100,000 members of the SA (Brown Shirts) and the SS assembled near the ancient Bavarian city of Nuremberg to celebrate the Nazi Party Day--  1933.

The attached photo of the opening of the 50th NATO anniversary, from U.S. News & World Report's online site is so bloodcurdling I'm trying to find a photo I've seen in the past of one of Hitler's super rallies that was almost identical... perhaps they were all almost identical, with their pageantry.

Deine Zauber binden wieder,
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Bru"der,
Wo dein sanfter Flu"gel weilt.

Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen,
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein,
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen,
Mische seinen Jubel ein!

Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele
Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt,der stehle
Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!

Freude trinken alle Wesen
An den Bruesten der Natur;
Alle Guten, alle Boesen
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.

Ku"sse gab sie uns und Reben,
Einen Freund, geprueft im Tod;
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott.

Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.

May he who has had the fortune
To gain a true friend
And he who has won a noble wife
Join in our jubilation!

Yes, even if he calls but one soul
His own in all the world.
But he who has failed in this
Must steal away alone and in tears.

All the world's creatures
Draw joy from nature's breast;
Both the good and the evil
Follow her rose-strewn path.

She gave us kisses and wine
And a friend loyal unto death;
She gave lust for life to the lowliest,
And the cherub stands before God.
