...Nazi elite were gathering again at Nürnberg. But the old Parteitag pomp and mass hysteria were gone. This time the leaders had to make their speeches in prison cells, where they awaited trial by the United Nations War Crimes Commission for being Nazis and starting the war.

As a result, in the past five years a titanic Parteitag Geldnde, or party grounds, has been in the process of construction, in what used to be Nürnberg's Luitpold Park (see map).
