Flowers decorate town, festival atmosphere. Hitler and entourage arrive at art exhibit. Road is lined with SS soldiers in long coats. Hitler opens art exhibition, speaking to a well-dressed crowd:"Rarely in German history is one so richly moved in peacetime...everyone working...so singularly great" "selten in der deutschen Geschichte eine so reich bewegte Friedenszeit...Kulturprogramm von einmaliger Groesse"] CUs of Nazi elite in audience, Wagner, Goebbels, Frau Magda Goebbels, Bernhard Rust. LSs, buildings, plazas, train, autobahn. Hitler is very calm, expressive. Shots of artwork: a perfect Aryan family, simple working folk, ideal.
