This is a very rare German Red Book - “Reichsparteitag Der Arbeit” with 100 Stereoview photos. The much sought after collectors "red books" were officially published by the NSDAP and contained the proceedings of the "congress" as well as full texts of every speech given in chronological order. This book contains speeches delivered by Hitler and other Nazi leaders at the 9th Party Congress’ “Rally of Labor” (Reichsparteitag der Arbeit) in 1937 on the searchlight-illuminated Zeppelin field in Nuremberg (Nazi party rally grounds). It referred to the reduction of unemployment since Hitler’s rise to power. Propaganda events by the state leading up to each speech, including processions and ceremonies, are also described in this book. An additional important component of the Nuremberg rallies were the numerous deployments and parades of the affiliated organizations of the Third Reich (Wehrmacht, SS, SA, Labor Service, Hitler Youth etc.) and are shown in Stereoview photos.

The primary aspect of the Nuremberg Rallies was the almost religious focus on Adolf Hitler, portraying Hitler as Germany's savior, chosen by providence. The gathered masses listened to the Führer's speeches, swore loyalty and marched before him. Representing the Volksgemeinschaft as a whole, the rallies served to demonstrate the might of the German people. The visitors of the rallies by their own free will were subordinate to the discipline and order in which they should be reborn as a new people.

The demonstration of power was not limited to the rally grounds; the formations also marched through the center of old Nuremberg, where they were reviewed by Hitler and enthusiastic crowds. In the city's old market place (Marktplatz, renamed Adolf-Hitler-Platz in 1933), wooden tribunes were erected. The rows of people walking through the flag-decorated historic town symbolized the continuity between the Reichstag in the Holy Roman Empire and the Third Reich.

This rally was particularly notable due to Albert Speer 's "Cathedral of Light", 134 searchlights that cast vertical beams into the sky around the Zeppelin Field to symbolise the walls of a building[2]. Festliches Nurnberg incorporated footage made at this rally.
