On this day we visited what could be called the Nazi Party Headquarters. These grounds were to serve as an expression of Nazi power and German superiority. Though many buildings comprised these grounds, the Zeppelin Field held the most intrigue. On this field we find the center of the Nazi phenomena. When asked about Hitler many conjure an image of a man shouting into a microphone with a huge crowd their to cheer him on. On this field is where the majority of these rallies occurred.
The Cathedral of Light. As we listen to the story told by our very knowledgeable tour guide he states,"Upon witnessing the Cathedral of Light in person one foreign reporter stated, For a moment I was a Nazi." This spectacle is widely known as but one of the many tools of propaganda the Nazi's used to project power and superiority. Just images are enough to be awe inspiring. Fear and Wonder.
