Adolf Hitler commissioned the film and served as an unofficial executive producer; his name appears in the opening titles. It chronicles the 1934 Nazi Party Congress (rally) in Nuremberg, which was attended by more than 700,000 Nazi supporters. The film contains excerpts of speeches given by Nazi leaders at the Congress, including Hitler, Rudolf Hess and Julius Streicher, interspersed with footage of massed Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS) troops and public reaction. Its overriding theme is the return of Germany as a great power with Hitler as its leader. The film was produced after the Night of the Long Knives, and many formerly prominent SA members are absent. ## Credits - **Director:** [Leni Riefenstahl](https://cinepixo.com/people/leni-riefenstahl) - **Screenplay:** [Leni Riefenstahl](https://cinepixo.com/people/leni-riefenstahl), [Walter Ruttmann](https://cinepixo.com/people/walter-ruttmann) - **Producer:** [Leni Riefenstahl](https://cinepixo.com/people/leni-riefenstahl) - **Original Music Composer:** [Herbert Windt](https://cinepixo.com/people/herbert-windt) - **Director of Photography:** [Walter Frentz](https://cinepixo.com/people/walter-frentz), [Walter Riml](https://cinepixo.com/people/walter-riml), [Sepp Allgeier](https://cinepixo.com/people/sepp-allgeier), [Karl Attenberger](https://cinepixo.com/people/karl-attenberger), [Paul Karl Lieberenz](https://cinepixo.com/people/paul-karl-lieberenz), [Franz Weihmayr](https://cinepixo.com/people/franz-weihmayr), [Hans Karl Gottschalk](https://cinepixo.com/people/hans-karl-gottschalk) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
