Inter-War Period (between WW 1 and II), How Hitler Won the Olympic Games - The Berlin Olympics | BETWEEN 2 WARS I 1936 Part 3 of 3 - YouTube (2)

How Hitler Won the Olympic Games - The Berlin Olympics | BETWEEN 2 WARS I 1936 Part 3 of 3 - YouTube (2)

celebrations. In that sense, the Olympics are a perfect propaganda triumph for Hitler

and his Nazis.

Or are they? Because the actual games might suggest something different.

I'm aware that I haven't talked about the actual games themselves yet. And I'm

not really going to, since, you know, it was for the most part just a regular sports event

with... well... sports. Norwegian Ivar Ballangrund won three out of four speed-skating races

in the Winter Games, and Great Britain won the Ice Hockey against the 1932 Olympic Winner,

Canada, in a thrilling match, yup the Brits beat the Canucks. For Germany the massive

investment in sports pays off. They win the by far the most medals in the summer games,

leading with 33 Gold. The US is second with 24 gold and Hungary comes in third with 10.

But the most remarkable athletic achievement is one that does not match the Nazi ideal

of the physical superiority of the Aryan race at all. African American athlete Jesse Owens

wins four gold medals- in one day, setting the Olympic record for the 200 meters and

the world records for the 100 meter sprint and 400-meter relay. Again unexpectedly - the

Nazi controlled German press does not understate this achievement. They seem to cover and even

celebrate his sportsmanship without racial bias. This ‘fair treatment' of black athletes

is actually a planned effort by the Ministry of Propaganda to reshape the global public

image of the German regime as ‘less racist than you thought.' It's a documented and

purposeful jibe at the US, where black athletes, including Owens, still have to ride at the

back of the bus and are not even featured in southern newspapers.

And so, Hitler appears to have won the Olympic Games. He establishes a global image of grandeur

and magnificence, but also a public image of racial superiority and unity, while at

the same time keeping global public opinion at bay. This all culminates in an interview

with Pierre de Coubertin in Le Journal, who says that ‘these “Grandiose Games, [organized

with] Hitlerian strength and discipline, [had] Brilliantly Served the Olympic Ideal. ” So

even Coubertin, who had brought forth the modern Olympics with internationalist and

pacifist ideals goes for the German propaganda narrative.

It may be unfair to say that that Hitler ‘Abused' sports for his propaganda. While he definitely

used the Olympics and Sports to spread his narrative domestically and to share a robust

and magnificent image of Germany globally, it was also- simply and magnificently- the

Olympic games. It's been said that the 1936 Olympics did more to further Coubertin's

vision than Hitler's. And sure, sports may have always had a political use - before and

after Hitler. And yes, many of the symbolism and rituals that the Germans introduced in

the Olympics are still used to this day, such as the symbolism of the Olympic Torch Relay,

the Olympic inauguration ceremony, sport filming, and so on because it transcends far beyond

Nazism.

But we shouldn't forget that Hitler used this event to enhance his image and obscure

the industrial scale, state organized, oppression, suppression, torture, and murder going on

in Germany outside of the Olympic venues. And this false image of Naziism will prove

essential as Hitler moves to expand his national network of racial hatred by cajoling the other

nations of Europe into tacitly, or even actively accepting his expansionist, bellicose plans

that will soon escalate into a global conflict.

And yet, the image that will survive, far beyond the adulation of the Führer dressed

in the emperor's clothes, stronger in human memory than the magnificent sites, the banners,

the Hitler salutes and national, racial chauvinism is the exact opposite of what Hitler wanted

to achieve. It is the image of Jesse Owens rising above normal human limits to show us

that greatness has no race, is not created by demagogues, and cannot be stopped by demagoguery,

because individual men and women rising above their own physical and mental limits can become

an unstoppable force for the good of mankind.
