The Party was celebrating its accession to absolute political power when special trains brought 750,000 of the faithful to the main railway station in the last week of August. Some 253,000 dispersed to their billets in hotels, public buildings and private homes in the city, and the remainder marched off to seven huge tented camps set up to accommodate them in areas in or close to the Rally grounds. The new regime had not yet seized the opportunities provided by the postal administration to exploit the propaganda potential of the first truly “National” Rally and no commemorative stamps were issued for the occasion.
Many souvenir items were sold in Nurnberg, but the most popular were the Parteitagspostkarten or Rally Postal Cards. Some were issued on behalf of the NSDAP. The above is one of two official NSDAP cards issued by the Party’s primary publisher, Franz Eher Verlag and the copper engraving was done by Brend’amour, Simhart & Company, both of Munich
