The Nuremberg Rally (officially, Reichsparteitag, literally "imperial party congress") was the annual rally of the National Socialist German Workers Party in the years 1923 to 1938 in Germany. Especially after Hitler's rise to power in 1933, they were big propaganda events by the state. The Reichsparteitage were held annually in Nuremberg from 1934 to 1938 and are thus usually referred to in English as the Nuremberg Rallies.
