Over six hundred members wore uniforms, the majority in brown Nazi garb, with red brassards reminiscent of wartime. A gathering of thousands of spectators was disappointed at the absence of Herr Hitler, who was welcoming the cruiser Koln at Wilhelmshaven on her return from a world cruise. Colonel Goering, who dispensed with the usual roll-call was elected president by acclamation. The House cliosw three new vice-presidents The proceedings were short and snappy, and the session the briefest on record. It lasted eight minutes.
