Hi guys,
Another area i visited thru Germany whilst on my battlefield trip was Nurnburg wear a large number of Nazi Rally events took place thru the 1930's.
Here are some pics i had taken with a now and then theme, some of the period pics had been taken before completion of stands, hope you enjoy.
Also there is a documentaion centre/museum close by the field..walking distance.
Zeppelin Field
The Zeppelin Field (in German: Zeppelinfeld) is located east of the Great Road. It consists of a large grandstand (Zeppelinhaupttribüne) with a width of 360 meters (400 yards) and a smaller stand. It was one of Albert Speer's first works for the Nazi party and was based upon the Pergamon Altar.In the 1970s, the pillars were removed for safety reasons. Years of neglect had taken their toll. The rest of the stand is intact and used as the centerpiece of the Norisring motor racing track.
From 1947 to 1995 the Nurnberg American High School, a DoDDS facility, used the field (called 'Soldiers Field') for high school football and soccer.
The grandstand is famous as the building that had the swastika blown from atop it in 1945, after Germany's fall in World War II.
