"Swede" Johnson describes pioneering climbs of the highest peaks in The Needles with George Martin in 1940. Chapter 9 - Bob's Tales. p. 85: Bob Pritchard describes various summer trips in the 1930s, including an ascent of Mt Constance. Chapter 10 - Flapjack Lakes. p. 92: A map on this page shows the location of "Mt Lincoln Ski Bowl". p. 93: Descriptions and impressions of the area. p. 97: The author describes a climb of Mt Lincoln with Karl Stingl in 1935. Stingl was an immigrant from Czechoslovakia and a Class A ski jumper. Chapter 11 - The Cabin. p. 99: The Bremerton Ski Cruisers organized in the winter of 1935-36 and soon began searching for a local ski area. C.J. Ritchie, one of the club's founders, chartered a plane and returned with photos of open terrain that looked ideal. This page has a photo of the first party to try locate the area on foot on 1-2 January 1937. p. 100: Searches on foot began on New Years Day 1937. The third search party, on April 17-18, found the ski bowl on the NE side of Mt Gladys, approaching from Flapjack Lakes. p. 102a: Photo of second exploration party, 13-14 March 1937. p. 102b: During the summer and fall of 1938 the Ski Cruisers, joined by the Shelton Ridge Runners, built a cabin at Flapjack Lakes. p. 103: Following construction of the cabin, some members of the Ski Cruisers pushed to have the road extended to Flapjack Lakes. The summer hiking and climbing group resisted this idea and the Forest Service declined to help, due to pending changes in the boundaries of the new National Park. In 1939, the park boundary was extended to include the site of the cabin. p. 104: Photo of the Flapjack Lakes cabin in summer. p. 105: In 1941, a special use permit for the cabin was issued by the National Park Service to the Bremerton Ski Cruisers and Shelton Ridge Runners. By this time, many club members preferred skiing at Mt Rainier and the cabin was little used in winter. The cabin was used more in summer by hikers and was maintained by Art and Viola Landry, including major repairs when the ridge pole was broken by a falling tree. p. 108a: After 1948, the National Park Service reclaimed the cabin and removed it. p. 108b: From 1947 through 1948 or 1949, the Bremerton Ski Cruisers built a lodge at Stevens Pass.

The author provides a good description of ski equipment of the time. He read Arnold Lunn's Alpine Skiing at All Heights and Seasons , which described snow conditions, and the December 1930 Mountaineer Bulletin , which described ski techniques with illustrations. [I believe the author may be refering to the 1929 Mountaineer Annual, which was a special ski number.

  • Jonathan C. Got Berlin Perspectives on Architecture 1 Olympiastadion
    Jonathan C. Got Berlin Perspectives on Architecture Olympiastadion – Germania and Beyond My personal interest with the Olymiastadion began the first week I arrived in Berlin. Having only heard about Adolf Hitler’s plans for a European Capital from documentaries and seen pictures of Jesse Owen’s legendary victories in the ill-timed 1936 Summer Olympics, I decided to make a visit myself. As soon as I saw the heavy stone colonnade from the car park I knew it could only have been built for one purpose – propaganda for the Third Reich beyond Germania. Remodelled for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin by Hitler’s favorite architects Werner March (whose father, Otto March, designed the original 1913 stadium) and Albert Speer, the Olympiastadion was a symbol of power for the National Socialist party and an opportunity to present propaganda in the form of architecture. Being the westernmost structure on Hitler’s ‘capital city of the world’, the stadium was designed to present the then National Socialist Germany to the rest of the world as a power to be reckoned with. Any visitor to the stadium doesn’t only see the gigantic stadium, but also experiences the whole Olympic complex. Visitors would arrive at a 10-platform S-Bahn station able to serve at high frequencies for large events and then walk several hundred meters with a clear view of the huge imposing stone stadium as soon as visitors reached the car park. Though some might argue that neither the U- nor S-Bahn stations named after the stadium provided convenient access to the sports grounds, one has to consider the scale of the event.

  • In Sight but out of Mind: the Construction of Memory at Three Once Stigmatized Sites in Berlin and Poznań
    IN SIGHT BUT OUT OF MIND: THE CONSTRUCTION OF MEMORY AT THREE ONCE STIGMATIZED SITES IN BERLIN AND POZNAŃ By Stephen Paul Naumann A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy German Studies 2012 ABSTRACT IN SIGHT BUT OUT OF MIND: THE CONSTRUCTION OF MEMORY AT THREE ONCE STIGMATIZED SITES IN BERLIN AND POZNAŃ By Stephen Paul Naumann This study explores cultural identity reflected in the urban landscape at three structures formerly identified with National Socialism: Berlin’s Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium) and Siegessäule (Victory Column), and Poznań’s Zamek cesarski (formerly Kaiserschloss – or Imperial Castle). My analysis is based on local and state archival work, as well as the examination of literary, visual and media sources in both Germany and Poland. I conclude that after the structures were first used to project meaning from Cold War tropes, both tourism and the enhancement of local identity in the face of European and global influences eventually contributed to the shift in meaning at these spaces in both cities. Poznań’s Zamek cesarski, a palace first commissioned by German Kaiser Wilhelm II, became, with its dedication in 1910, a monument to Prussian-German imperialism in this multi- ethnic Polish-German-Jewish city. Rededicated by the new Polish republic after World War I, the structure was later remodeled by the Nazis for Hitler’s use. One of their most prominent additions is still visible today: the Führerbalkon, a balcony extending off the front of the building for Hitler to watch military parades.

  • The Future in Stone: Architecture As Expression of National Socialist Temporality by Alex Wilkinson Cruddas a Thesis Submitted T
    The Future in Stone: Architecture as Expression of National Socialist Temporality By Alex Wilkinson Cruddas A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Department of History Carleton University Ottawa, Canada © 2016 Alex Wilkinson Cruddas Abstract Working alongside Adolf Hitler, architect Albert Speer pioneered his theory of Ruinenwert, or “ruin value”, which was employed in the design of monumental architectural projects. These structures were designed to evoke imagery of the Nazi’s contemporary power and ideology and were created to function as lieux de mémoire (“places of memory”) for subsequent generations of Aryans, providing heroic ruins for a future audience imagined as both bearers of the regime’s cultural legacy and witness to its destruction. The regime itself was understood to possess the contradictory qualities of the eternal and terminal, and its architecture was to reflect this. Little attention has been given to contextualizing the architecture of temporality National Socialism within the regime’s greater culture of future-mindedness. This work seeks to establish connections between existing discussions of National Socialist architectural futurity and those that explore the regime’s fascination with its own future more broadly. ii Acknowledgments I would firstly like to thank the wonderful and dedicated History Department administrative staff, particularly Joan White, whose support and assistance over the past years was immeasurable. My sincere thanks go to you Joan. I would also like to thank my readers, Dr. Casteel and Dr. Elżanowski, for taking the time to read my work and for being a valued part of my thesis project.

  • The Intended 1916 Olympic Games Through the Eyes of the German
    The intended 1916 Olympic Games through the eyes of the German Sport University Cologne’s historical collections - The archive project “Abgestaubt und neu erforschbar” (Dusted off and re-explorable) as part of the transmission of sport history Ansgar Molzberger Institute of Sport History, German Sport University Cologne (Germany) [email protected] Abstract Various institutions of the German Sport University Cologne (GSU Cologne) have high- quality, historically grown collections of documents, photos and three-dimensional objects that reflect the complete spectrum of sport and sport sciences. In particular, this concerns the Carl and Liselott Diem Archive at the Institute of Sport History and the Central Library for Sport Sciences. In its entirety, the historical collections extend over 1.000 shelf meters. With the objective to present an overall view of the GSU Cologne’s historical collections for the first time and to emphasize the value of primary evidence for hermeneutics in sport history, a research and publication project was started in 2013. Its work will lead to the publication of a four-volume book series entitled “Dusted off and re-explorable – The historical collections of the German Sport University Cologne”. The first two volumes, richly illustrated with the help of primary evidence, were published in 2014 and 2018 and dealt with the topics “Personal collections” and “The Olympic Movement”. The article at hand aims to illustrate the work of the archive project group by presenting the conception and content of the book chapter about the intended 1916 Berlin Olympic Games from the book series’ second volume. Keywords German Sport University Cologne, Institute of Sport History, Carl and Liselott Diem- Archive, Archive project, Primary evidence / Hermeneutics, Olympic Games 1916.

These events were held at the Nazi party rally grounds in Nürnberg from 1933 to 1938 and are usually referred to in English as the Nürnberg Rallies. To enlarge images click on image and open in a new tab Many films were made to commemorate them, the most famous of which is 'Triumph of the Will'. History and Purpose Translate The first Nazi Party rallies took place in 1923 in Munich and in 1926 in Weimar. From 1927 on, they were held exclusively in Nürnberg. Nürnberg was selected for pragmatic reasons: It was situated in the center of the German Reich and the local Luitpoldhain was well suited as a venue. In addition, the Nazis were able to rely on the well organized local branch of the party in Franconia, then led by Contents Gauleiter Julius Streicher. The Nürnberg police were sympathetic to the event. Later, the location was justified by putting it into the tradition of the Imperial Diet (German Reichstag) of the Holy Roman Empire, considered to be the First Reich. After 1933, the rallies were held near the time of the Autumn equinox, under the title of "National Congress of the Party of the German People" (Reichsparteitage des deutschen Volkes), which was intended to symbolize the solidarity between the German people and the Nazi Party.
