The Great Avenue

The Great Avenue never saw thousands of soldiers parade along its length.
It is hard to imagine how many soldiers the 60m wide avenue could have accommodated.

The Great Avenue visited in 1986 before a lot of development took place at the southern end
The different coloured slabs laid to aid marching show clearly in this image

Spectators never watched from the viewing steps that ran along both sides of the planned 2km road

The Great Avenue was used as an airfield during the Nuremberg Trials that began in November 1945
