One hundred thousand people, including 70,000 Nazis brought from all over Germany, assembled in the Konigsplatz and witnessed a "resurrection" ceremony marking the anniversary of the abortive putsch of 1923.
Herr Hitler, bareheaded, accompanied by survivors of the putsch, marched from the beer house where the outbreak began to an arcade with 255 pillars, each bearing the name of a dead NazL As he passed each the name of the man commemorated was i shouted through, a loudspeaker, with [the addition: "I am here, Fuhrer."
After this, 16 bodies of men killed by the police during the putsch, recently exhumed, were borne amid a roll of muffled drums to the Konigsplatz on gun carriages and placed in two temples of honour erected as part of the Nazi buildings near the Brown House, where every German passing must salute with upraised arm. When the bodies were placed in their resting places a voice multiplied a hundredfold shouted: "This is the last rollcall." The assembly replied with one voice: "Heil! With us their spirits .live on."
