[3] Thirty-five special trains brought an estimated 25,000 SA and SS personnel and 1,300 Hitler Youth participants from all over Germany.

It was a far larger and more elaborate production than the previous rally, and Adolf Hitler intended to use it to showcase the growth of his movement, which now topped 130,000 members.

[2] Permission to wear the Nuremberg Party Badge was granted by the Gauleiter (Senior district leader).

The wearing of the badge could be withdrawn by Hitler and the chief of the Nazi Party Chancellery, Martin Bormann.
