Adolf
Hitler, the leader of Greater Germany, August 1, 1936, opened the 1936
World 11th Summer Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. Adolf Hitler was a
perfect host; he welcomed the world’s athletes to the Berlin Olympic Stadium,
which was designed to seat an audience of 110,000.
During
the 1936 Summer Olympic Games, Hitler applauded both German and American
athletes, as well as winning athletes from all other nations.
Even
though a perfect host at the 1936 Summer Olympics, Adolf Hitler was still
the leader of Greater Germany. Yes, one could be a great host, and still
support the home team, as other world leaders were demonstrating at that
time. Each world leader, at that time, wanted their nation’s team to win
at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Adolf Hitler felt the same towards the German
team.
Hitler
wanted to demonstrate two concepts at the 1936 Summer Olympics:
1.
An all White Nordic Christian Olympic Team could come in first place.
2.
Working Class Participants could raise their status in the world through
their own efforts.
Participants
in all situations, could be judged on their individual actions, not on
the economic status of their parents or ancestors alone. The German 1936
Summer Olympic Team did not let Hitler down. The German team, consisting
completely of White Nordic Christian members, came in first place during
the 1936 Summer Olympic Games held in Berlin, Germany.
Among
the working class German athletes to win a Gold Medal during the 1936 Summer
Olympics, Karl Hein, a carpenter, won a Gold Medal for the Olympic event
called: THE HAMMER THROW. Karl Hein broke a world record, which was held
for 24 years.
During
the 1936 Summer Olympics, held in Berlin, the German team won 33 Gold Medals,
and 89 Medals in total Olympic categories.
Adolf
Hitler was very proud of the German 1936 Summer Olympic Team. Hitler was
able to prove that an all White Nordic Christian Olympic Team could come
in first place, and an individual could raise one’s status in life through
individual efforts, in spite of coming from a humble working class background.
The
American team came in second place at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games.
Hitler
was very impressed by all American athletes at the 1936 Summer Olympics
and applauded them. The Olympic Team from France, impressed by their host,
Adolf Hitler, gave the Nazi solute as they entered the Berlin Olympic Stadium
in 1936 the first time.
March,
1990, during my first visit to Berlin, Germany, as the Berlin Wall, (1961-1990),
was falling in stages, I went to the Berlin Olympic Stadium where the World
11th, 1936 Summer Olympics were held. The Berlin Olympic Stadium was built
to last for 1000 years and is still in use today. I have been to Berlin,
Germany, many times since then.
It
remains very clear of who won the 1936 Summer Olympic Games. The final
score of all points and all medals earned during the 1936 Summer Olympics
remains the final eternal truth. Based on all points and Olympic Medals
received, Adolf Hitler and the German team won the 1936 Summer Olympic
Games.
The
German team came in first place during the 1936 Summer Olympic Games.
Presently,
there is a street just outside the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, which bears
the name of a Black Negro African American athlete who won 4 Gold Medals
at the 1936 Summer Olympics. This athlete’s efforts did not effect the
final second place status of the U.S. Olympic team in 1936. The name of
this Berlin street should be changed to the Karl Hein Street "Strasse"
who is more deserving of the honor.
Karl
Hein, a German Olympic Gold Medal winner, made a big effect on the German
team’s final first place status during the 1936 Summer Olympics.
Karl
Hein demonstrated an even greater achievement; he rose through his own
efforts from a humble working class background, to a level of international
world recognition.
Efforts
should be made to further the honor of Karl Hein, by replacing the name
of Jesse Owens on the Berlin street to that of the name of Karl Hein. Karl
Hein Strasse sounds better than Jesse Owens Strasse. Karl Hein was a greater
athlete than Jesse Owens.
Karl
Hein was a true hero of the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany.
