Hitler's Olympics - Hitler's World: The Post War Plan - S01 EP05 - History Documentary

"Beer was as much part of the German national identity as Lederhosen." Beer is part of the German national identity; Lederhosen are part of the regional identity of Bavaria in its borders before 1789.

At that time, China was invaded by Japan and most of country did nothing.

Nobody seems to remember how the Soviet Union and East Bloc countries dominated many sports during the Olympics during the time of Communism. Their "amateur" athletes were in fact professional. All they did was train for the games and weren't required to work like amateur athletes in the west. Add the "special vitamins" and "supplements" they took, and in sports that were subjective like gymnastics and diving they had sympathetic judges from east and west to rule in their favor. Germany just did it first in 1936.

The 1932 games in Los Angeles were held during the worst year of the Great Depression. To compare them to what happened in Berlin in 1936 is ridiculous. You don't need to create your own propaganda in 2023 to talk about how bad these guys were in 1936 and how things were only going to get worse in the future.

Guy Walters is an excellent historian. I have been watching him for years.

Funny how the preferred diet and attitudes about body shapes mirror certain attitudes today about food, diet and body shapes determining value. 🤨

The only reason you're talking about the 1936 Olympics being broadcast by the then new medium of television is because you know a large percentage of viewers here have seen the movie "Contact".

Beer to a German. It's like. T to a Brit. And. Coffee to Americans. Something's. You can't mess with. William s

Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 doing what Germany would do later but nobody tried to keep Japan out of the 1936 Olympics.

I'm a Brit and my mother was a German who at 8 years of age had to see total horrors when the Soviets entered Berlin.
