Olympic games under strict observation

A historical event can be traced back to August 1, 1936 when Adolf Hitler opened the Summer Olympics in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. At that time, 49 nations took part - a record that was accompanied by extreme political tensions. While international protest against the brutal methods of the Nazi regime became loud, the German government tried to stage these games as a sign of cosmopolitanism. The Report shows that the diplomatic splendor of the games did not reflect the devastating image of reality in Germany.

The Olympic Games were accompanied by propaganda and censorship. In this event, Hitler and Joseph Goebbels saw the opportunity to improve the international reputation of the German Empire. Signs that prohibited Jews on entering public places were removed during the games, and the rush sheet "The striker" was not sold. Nevertheless, the reality was cruel: while celebrating in Berlin, concentration camps were created in the immediate vicinity that document the inhuman practices of the regime. Jesse Owens, the black American athlete, became the symbol of the games by winning four gold medals and thus challenging the racist regime. The propaganda tried in vain to drive away the shadow of truth when Germany triumphed with 33 gold medals in the medal mirror.
