About this audio guide
This guide to the Zeppelin Grandstand in Nuremberg begins on an April day in nineteen forty-five, with an American combat cameraman filming the top of the stand Albert Speer built for the Nazi Party rallies. It takes in the ancient altar Speer copied, the rostrum Hitler spoke from, and the US Army parade that crossed the field in front of it. You'll also hear what the city did with the stone in the decades after the war. Best heard facing the stand from the open field.
