On 15 and 16 July 1939, the "Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung" inside the "Haus der Deutschen Kunst" was complemented by the monumental "Tag der Deutschen Kunst" celebration of "2,000 years of Germanic culture" where luxuriously draped floats (one of them carrying a 5 meter tall golden Nazi "Reichsadler") and thousands of actors in historical costumes paraded down Prinzregentenstraße for hours in the presence of Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, Albert Speer, Robert Ley, Reinhard Heydrich, and many other high-ranking Nazis, with minor events taking place in the "Englischer Garten" nearby.
