41:47 -> .. and 1:01-> are the epic scenes.
31:27-> .. is my favorite scene: a mini socio-political opera. (This scene is pretty much a direct German nationalist rebuttal to International Socialism. Note that the symbols used are identical to the internationalist variant. Beyond that, its the same story of glorifying digging in the masters' plantation and worker ants marching from point A to point B under the watch of soldier ants ;)
You should also check out the Soviet version(s), too. No one can even come close to their propaganda. They were the masters of this art. I really enjoy Soviet graphic arts and music. Epic stuff. In both versions (national/international), note the cameo roles played by women, typically decked out in the local peasant garb (well into the 80s in the Soviet case). In the Nazis case, of course, there was a substantial male homosexual subtext -- embodied in the Brown Shirts -- to the whole enterprise. The rally film quite effectively captures this masculine frenzy. (Also note: The Pink Swastika.)
