But Bavaria was also the scene of passive resistance to the regime, the most well known of this being the White Rose.[9] Nürnberg, Bavaria's second-largest city, became the scene of massive rallies, the Reichsparteitage.[10] Ironically, the last of those in 1939, titled Reichsparteitag des Friedens (Reichsparteitag of peace), was canceled due to the outbreak of the second world war. After the war, carefully chosen for this reason, the city became the location of the war crimes trials, the Nuremberg Military Tribunals.
