There is a scene with a greater similarity. In the example you show Hitler is followed by a mass of party dignitarties. Earlier in the film (I know because I have a copy), Hitler walks alone between ranks of soldiers in a stadium followed from behind by just Himmler, head of the SS, and someone else I assume is the new head of the SA. The three walk to the end and pay honour to what I assume are the Blood martyrs.

Putting aside the subject matter, "Triumph of the Will" is the greatest propoganda film ever made and it wouldn't surprise me that it is studied by directors on how to set up a scene.
