The annual marches in Nürnberg were the climaxes of the national socialist culture of self-representation. Through the "aestheticization of politics" (Walter Benjamin) the supposed invincibility of the national socialist movement was demonstrated for both friend and foe. Even in the third reich, Leni Riefenstahl´s film Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will) was seen as being the most complete incarnation of this idea, contrary to this television report; Robert Ley, the organiser of the 'Parteitage' is interviewed at the airport in Nürnberg. Neither the reporter or Ley are able to cope with this indirect form of communication where the interviewed person speaks directly to the reporter but in reality is addressing an unknown number of viewers. Neither does the party conference appear very dynamic although it is not clear whether the bad report or the conference itself are at fault.
