    Well yeah, the '34 Nuremberg rally must have been pretty memorable and impressive to see in person too.

    But hardly anybody later in life was like “Hey kids, want to hear about this epic and awesome thing I went to before the war?”

      I think a better comparison would be the 1936 Olympics. And plenty of people were really happy to talk about how they were at the Olympics and watched a black American man beating the Nazis on their own turf.
