This historic film from Germany (and with voiceover in German) shows footage of the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. This was quite an ominous Olympics held prior to the start of the Second World War, and the film contains many pro-German elements which can be considered as propaganda. Hitler constructed a massive stadium specifically for the Olympics in order to outdo the previous 1932 Los Angeles games. Hitler saw the games as an opportunity to begin to push his government and racial ideas on an international stage. This is also the Olympics during which Jesse Owens won four gold medals for the USA in spite of harsh criticism against participating in the games (which of course were held in a racist country whose leaders believed in eugenics and the so-called “master race“ theory).
The film opens with an ad for Bayer (:37). The outside of the Olympiastadion (:37) in Olympiapark Berlin in Berlin. German flags line the wall as pedestrians await the start of the event (:47). Adolph arrives to begin the 11th annual Summer Olympics (2:40). The LZ-129 Hindenburg floats above Berlin (3:28). The camera enters the stadium (4:03) panning over the jammed seats (4:54). A Nazi salute (7:10) precludes Japan’s team of athletes (7:30). The German team arrives (8:13). The Olympic flag is raised (8:52) and ceremonial cannons are fired (9:15). The Olympic torch is lit (10:21). A gun blows as the first meter race (11:07). Jesse Owens took gold in both the 100 and 200 meter race. Athletes spring over hurdles in the 110 meter hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles (14:09). The camera pans to the scoreboard (17:06). The marathon race begins (18:13) to be won by Japan’s Son Kitei.

The pole vault begins (24:14); to be won by Earl Meadows of the United States. Crowds erupt in cheers (26:05). Temporary homes for the athletes are nestled in a wooded area outside the stadium (26:44). A recreational game of soccer is enjoyed (27:11). Polo returned to the summer Olympics for this game and this was to be the last time the game was contested (27:26). Argentina would take the win. Athletes and servicemen enter a nearby drugstore (27:37). Card games are enjoyed during down time (27:49). A bartender shakes and mixes drinks in between events (28:56).

Hungry would take the win. A man shouts newspaper headlines in the streets (38:34) waving his paper. The parking lot is shown to be jammed with attendants (38:47).
