This is a nice complete, original example of the big 7 x 9-1/2 inch, 32 page program sold on the streets of München for 10 Pfennigs (4 cents) during the parade that opened the festivities of the Day of German Art in 1938. The theme of the festival and the parade was Zweitausend Jahre Deutsche Kultur (2000 Years of German Culture) and the program we offer here depicts and explains in perfectly
Each of the floats and units in the parade depicted a different period in the history of Germany, from the earliest German days through the Roman times, the Gothic era, the Renaissance, Baroque and Classic periods and of course, the Nazi era. Almost half of the book and half of the parade focused on the Nazi period and the floats and units dealt with everything from Blut und Boden, Glaube und Treue, the return of the Saarland, Austria and the various Bundesländer.
There were special floats to showcase the Hoheitsadler (State Symbol of the eagle and swastika), monumental construction projects of the Führer such as the House of German Art, the Ehrentempel and the Führerhaus, the city of Reichs Party Days (Nuremberg) construction such as the Zeppelinwiese, Kongresshalle, Stadium, Märzfeld, etc.
A special section of the parade called the Schlussgruppe consisted of the Nazi Party leadership of units like the SS, HJ, SA, NSKK, NSFK, etc. and the Waffenträger – the Army, Air Force, Police and SS-Verfügungstruppe.
Beautifully decorated pages showing the Hoheitsadler, the München Deutschland Erwache standard and a full-page map of the parade route in central Munich. In very good condition.
We have a second example of the same publication, Zweitausend Jahre Deutsche Kultur (2000 Years of German Culture), which makes us suspect that it rained on parade day in 1938.
The program is complete and fully readable but was folded down the center to put it in a pocket and it got wet enough to stain the edges of some of the pages. Fair condition - as shown on the left.
