Hitler making his “German Day” speech, 30th January 1939.

May Day had been celebrated in Germany long before Hitler’s time, but in 1933, Hitler changed its name to "Day of National Labour". This day was proclaimed a national holiday and large rallies were held throughout Germany. On the "May Day" field in Berlin, where the main rally took place, German maidens performed the traditional May dances around the maypole, and then Hitler or some other leading Nazi would give a speech which was broadcasted to all the other rallies.
