This historical photo album provides an intimate visual account of the Sturmabteilung (SA) during the 1936 Nuremberg Party Rally. The 9" x 13" album features a tan textured cover adorned with a gilt national eagle emblem and remains bound by its original cord. The interior cover identifies the owner as Kuno Bliessner of Berlin and is inscribed "Nürnberg 1936." Across 22 pages, the album contains 98 original silver-gelatin photographs documenting the scale and daily life of the "Rally of Honor." The collection includes candid shots of SA musicians, field maneuvers, and elaborate tent cities, alongside aerial flyovers and grand architectural ceremonies. Notably, the album also captures the interaction between the paramilitary units and the local residents of Nuremberg, offering a comprehensive look at both the rigid pageantry and the logistical reality of the event. The album shows minor edge wear consistent with its age but remains a well-preserved primary source. OT
