Opening scene shows many thousands of Nazi Storm Troopers (Sturmabteilung) gathered in a Nazi rally at Zeppelin Field in Nuremberg. They all render the Nazi salute as the German National Anthem is played over loudspeakers. Complete change of scene shows a military parade including many World War I veterans. They march past Crown Prince Wilhelm, who is seen in close-up, saluting the marchers with a classic military salute. (Several standing with him render Nazi salutes.) The parade ends with the National Anthem and massed flags. Next, German President, Paul von Hindenburg, leads a contingent of officials, walking past assembled military units. He strolls into an area where he exchanges salutes with uniformed men who render the classic (not Nazi) hand salute. Hindenburg salutes some disabled veterans of World War I.
