The Nazi put enormous effort into rituals and ceremonies. The annual Nuremberg Rallies are only the most prominent examples. The party provided a lot of material to party propagandists for organizing such events. Considerable material on this is available on the GPA.
Today I am adding five photographs showing “good” and “bad” examples of the stage decorations for such events.
This one, for example, shows a “well-decorated” meeting hall for Advent ceremonies. Note that there is no suggestion of a Christian element.
Additions, with occasional commentary, to my on-line collection of propaganda from Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic

Nazi Decorative Items
Flags, banners, and other decorations were part of life in the Third Reich. I've added some pages from a 1939 catalog of such items.
