The 50th birthday of Adolf Hitler on 20 April 1939 was celebrated as a national holiday throughout Nazi Germany and other parts of the world. Gifts and telegrams of congratulations were received from all over Germany and allied countries, although the Western Allies neglected congratulating the Führer. The birthday celebration saw, amongst other events, the largest military parade in the history of the Third Reich, with army, Luftwaffe, navy and SS units, numbering almost 50,000 in total, marching through the streets of Berlin in Hitler's honor.
