HITLER'S OLYMPICS THE 1936 BERLIN OLYMPIC GAMES

  • Price: $8.99  $25.00

Book Type: C

By Christopher Hilton. In hindsight it is ironic that the choice to hold the 1936 Olympics in Berlin was meant to show that Germany was once again a trustworthy player on the world stage. For Hitler, however, it was a massive propaganda exercise on behalf of the Nazi party and the Aryan race. To Hitler's displeasure, four-time gold medal-winner Jesse Owens was the star of the show, but what is less commonly remembered is that Germany won more medals than any other nation, thereby bolstering its claims to supremacy. Christopher Hilton uses newspapers, diaries, and interviews to uncover the behind-the-scenes machinations used by the Nazis to fashion the Olympics in their own image. Hilton reveals what happened to some of the competitors afterwards, and includes 16 pages of rarely-seen photographs. 244 pp.
