Thanks for posting! Very surreal to see the pics in color.
Can you imagine what being at one of those rallys must have been like?

My grandfather was at a few of those rallies as an Austrian conscripted infantryman. We got his war records many years ago, and saw that, before he was shipped out to the front lines, just after training, his unit/company/whatever was stationed in Germany itself as part of the homeland security force. He never wanted to talk about it though at all, other than to say that it was preferable to getting dysentery in the trenches.
BTW, did the picture with the guys wearing no shirts remind anyone else of Indiana Jones?
