Military parade in Berlin on Hitler's 50th birthday

Adolf Hitler's 50th birthday was on April 20th 1939.

The greatest military parade in the history of Third Reich was held in Berlin with several units of Luftwaffe, Heer and SS which paraded for four and half hours. The event's organizer was Josef Goebbels, the minister of propaganda of the Third Reich.

Military leaders throughout the country gave addresses to their troops to celebrate the occasion. Some, such as Erich von Manstein, were especially effusive in their praise for their supreme commander.

A film of the occasion was made — Hitlers 50. Geburtstag. This was subsequently shown to packed audiences of young people at the Youth Film Hours held on Sundays. The German author, Heinrich Hoffmann wrote a book about Hitler's 50th birthday. The book also contains so many photographs of the event. The book's name is Ein Volk ehrt seinen Führer, which means "A nation honors her leader'. A special edition of Mein Kampf is published in 1939 in honor of Hitler's 50th birthday. This edition was renowned as the Jubiläumsausgabe, or Anniversary Issue. It came in both dark blue and sharp red boards with a gold sword on the cover. Among notable foreign guests of the birthday, were Dr. Tiso, the President of Slovakia and Dr. Hácha, Protector of Bohemia and Moravia.

In Australia about 150 German residents of Adelaide celebrated the event in the German Club on Flinders Street.

Birthday gifts

Heinrich Himmler congratulates Hitler

The Free City of Danzig made Hitler an honorary citizen of the city as a birthday gift. Political and military tension between Germany and Poland was heightened and the possibility of Danzig being returned to Germany was reported.

Martin Bormann had the Eagle's Nest constructed as a birthday gift. This was not successful as Hitler had a fear of heights.

Hitler did not drink alcohol due to his indigestion. A Munich brewery created a special batch of low alcohol beer for his birthday which then became a regular order.

Hans Rehberg wrote a hymn for the birthday.

Albert Speer presented the first stage of the project to create a grand vista through Berlin — the east-west axis. Hitler had been anticipating a speech from the taciturn Speer and was amused when he evaded this by briefly announcing that the work should speak for itself.
