Soldiers stand still in rows, looking right towards the camera. The men bring their thoroughbreds to a gallop in the open field. SA-Musikzug (marching band) plays to the left. Civilians have gathered to watch them. More of the men riding horses, as soldiers stand in lines on the side. 10:06:36 Ernst Röhm chats with other Nazi Party officials, no longer on horseback.
10:06:49 A large podium has been set up, decorated with Nazi flags and a large reichsadler on the backdrop. Röhm addresses the crowd. He shakes the hand of a soldier and salutes before descending a set of stairs to the right of the stage. Other officials follow quickly after.
