The Deutschlandflüge (English: Germany flights) were four campaign tours in 1932 for Hitler's run in the 1932 German presidential election and for the Nazi Party in the July 1932 German federal election and November 1932 German federal election. Hitler traveled across Germany by plane and by car, appearing at around 200 major events altogether. Photographer Heinrich Hoffman and a film team were part of his entourage. During the tours, Hitler would visit as many as five cities in one day by plane, addressing rallies of tens of thousands of people.Hitler Over Germany There were four tours: one for the first round of the presidential election, one for the second round from the 16th to 24th of April, the third later in 1932, and the fourth between 11 October and 5 November.
