Last year I traveled to Nuremberg and spent a rainy morning walking around the Nuremberg Rally Grounds. It was an odd experience walking around a place that lead to a movement resulting in WW2. When I originally recorded the footage at the grounds I didn't think I would be making a video about them, but when I returned home I did some more reading into the history of the area and found it much more interesting than I first expected. Hopefully the video turned out well enough to be worthy of a watch, please tell me if you would be interested in more content like this in the future!

6:27 Parade ground made for goosestepping, now being stepped on by geese. Poetry.

What a nice square, I wonder what kind of thought provoking and influential people spoke here,

I’m just now taking a deep dive into WW2. This was fascinating. You were probably standing where hilter stood at one time.

"tonight, on Top Gear..."

Great video & detail my friend, very enjoyable. Danke Schon!

Good video. I went to Nuremberg about 9 years ago and went to the Rally Grounds. I was amazed the tribune at the Zeppelinfield was still there, tbh. It's a shame the visitor centre was closed when you went. I remember it was very interesting. The Congress Hall is magnificent from the outside. I also went to memorial at Dachau, which is a few miles outside Munich. Another very interesting place with a tragic history.

Iron just casually flexing some of the Rome footage he's sitting on in a video supposedly about Nuremberg ;) Veeerry satisfying watching that Windmill of Friendship explode! And I hope to see this all in person someday, South Germany has been on my list for a while!

Im suprised you didnt mention that the grandstand is still used as a grandstand for DTM racing. You can even see the start/finish line!

Just a little side note: while Nuremberg is inside the state of Bavaria, it's not culturally part of it. The northern part of Bavaria is Franconia and franconians can get quite upset if you call them bavarians.

I understand being ashamed of your heritage, but at one point or another people gotta aknowledge history cant be erased/forgotten. Very awesome educational video Iron thank you!

was there today as well, for me it was probably easier since I live about one and a half hours away from nuremburg. Standing up there is honestly a really weird feeling knowing what happened there not even a century ago

Two more funfacts/details you missed (I don't think they even were noted in the walking tour map): The Silbersee: when you walked up the parade lane eastwards, there are lakes (mostly drained in winter) left and right. while the bigger ones in the beginning are indeed just there to look good, the one on the right further down the road, the Silbersee, is the floaded foundation which was dug for the enormous, U-shaped "Deuutsches Stadion". The other funfact is, the Footbal stadium you saw iis built on the exact same location as the hitler youth stadium back then. hasn't moved a centimeter.

Wow!

Great vid! keep it up!

I've been there! 2019 was such a nice year. The museum was alright though i liked the Nurnberg Trials museum more. We never explored the grounds though! Thank you for this.

wow that ceiling looks amazing. very lucky it did not get destroyed or stolen after the war

At the very least, the Nazis had a good taste when it came to Architecture

That music from The Grand Budapest Hotel?

Very cool video my friend!

I was there too, was interesting

>The public is NOT allowed to see the golden swastikas! Uhh...what's the problem, they might faint from stress? I don't understand. Apparently film of it is just fine, guess you can faint at home and it's ok? Anyway, very cool tour, I'm surprised such a venue is so intact.

I live right next to the rally grounds and during my finals I had to focus on the rally grounds and we learned pretty much everything about it. The golden hall not being open to public got nothing to do with it being swastikas on the roof. It´s not opened cus the city has not yet planned on how to open it and the rest of the building, since it´s not the only room in it. (The remaining rooms is mainly toilets though) It´s already being discussed and planned to open the room later on to the public but details and stuff just aren´t being worked out yet. Also including the stability and overall maintenance of the building, since bombing the outer hallways and the swastika on top lead to great problems and damaged the buildings structure heavily. Rain and time had played it´s part. There´s really much going on rn and they are planning to chance the howl area in order to better connect it with history. Kudos though I hope you had fun visiting my city :)

I was there this past march. The town was cool. The rally ground were so eerie. Did you spin the ring in the town square?

The museum on the Nazi years is well worth a visit. A shame it was under renovation while you visited this historically significant area. At the museum I was very impressed how the Germans have faced up to the crimes of their nation. I wish all nations would be as forthcoming.

oh hey it is ma city

LETS GO

Nice video. Btw 'Ye' is pronounced 'thee'. The Y represents the old English letter 'thorn' or 'þ'. Ye as a pronoun is pronounced ye...

You mean the Nurburgring rally grounds, right?

Hope you enjoyed your stay :)

I went there too several years ago! very cool place! did the "salute" quickly then left before secret police showed up. (they have cameras)

discord links dead

Love from turkey

This video is in fact NOT about the race track, but a racist track.

Gift Golden Hall to India as a secondary building to their embassy. Problem solved?

Ah, socialists and their megalomania. At least I'm happy that the ones that were here decided to can Palace of The Soviets, Ministy of Industry building and several others.
