The last big sports event organized in its trademark grandiose style by the NSRL was the "Deutsches Turn- und Sportfest" (German Gym and Sports Celebration) in Breslau (now Wrocław) in July 1938. This highly nationalistic sports event commemorated the 125th anniversary of the German Wars of Liberation against Napoleon and the first award of the Iron Cross in the city of Breslau itself in 1813.
