The parade through the Brandenburg Gate was led by Gen. von Witzleben ; the general commanding the Third Army Corps , mounted on a charger . Behind came de tachments provided by the army which , as the senior service in Germany , led the way . Cavalry , even in plain field grey uni forms , still raises more popular enthusiasm than the grim and efficient mechanised units . The loudest cheer of all was re served for the kettle drummer of the 9th Cavalry Regiment , a man with huge turned - up moustaches like those of the ex Kaiser , who brandishing his drum sticks and guiding his horse with his spurs alone turned a full circle in front of Herr Hitler while moving at a hand gallop .
