Olympics Nazi Propaganda Video – Berlin 1936 | Just 3 Years Before World War II Began
Published on
With the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games currently taking place in China, it’s interesting to look back at other Olympic Games of historical importance.
There can be none that fits that bill quite so well as Berlin 1936. This was of course just three years before the outbreak of World War 2, and the Nazis were already in power.
This is a Nazi propaganda film from that time, which tries to show Berlin as a pleasant and forward-thinking city. It makes for bizarre viewing in hindsight of what happened there not long after.
The enduring fact I have of the 1936 Summer Olympics is that in spite of only members of the so-called Aryan race being allowed to compete for Germany, Jesse Owens won big, and he was an African-American.

My family members were in the German Army and we are proud Aryans. I live in Trussville, Alabama and I’m a good ol boy. America would be a better country if the Germans won the war.

iNTERESTING…aMERICA, IN SPITE OF KNOWING THAT cHINA IS A VIOLENT CRUEL MURDEROUS DICTATORSHIP, STILL SUPPORTS AND ATTENDS THE cHINA oLYMPICS.
iNTERNAL REPRESSION STILL DOESN’T SEEM TO MATTER TO SO-CALLED CARING DEMOCRACIES…BUT BEWARE…RED FASCISM IS JUST AS VICIOUS AND EVIL AS ANY OTHER OTHER COLOUR FASCISM…(REMEMBER pOL pOT?) THE NUREMBERG TRIALS WERE OBVIOUSLY A WASTE OF TIME…OTHERWISE WHAT IS AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT DOING IN THE CAPITAL OF A LATTER DAY TOTALITARIAN STATE??? wHY DID THE NAZIS HANG IF AMERICA CAN DEAL WITH CHINESE MASS MURDERERS???
tHEN AGAIN, THE RUSSIANS INVADED POLAND ALONG WITH THE GERMANS IN SEPT 1939 AND THEN STOOD IN JUDGEMENT OVER gERMANY AT THE SO-CALLED “cRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY TRIALS” AT NUREMBERG.
AND YOU WONDER WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE CYNICAL ABOUT “JUSTICE AT NUREMBURG”???

This is a great piece of history, but it would be helpful if there were (English) subtitles. This is especially true given that there is a voiceover component to this video.
