The Berlin Olympics: Sports, Anti-Semitism, and Propaganda in Nazi Germany Abstract The aN zis utilized the Berlin Olympics of 1936 as anti-Semitic propaganda within their racial ideology. When the Nazis took power in 1933 they immediately sought to coordinate all aspects of German life, including sports. The process of coordination was designed to Aryanize sport by excluding non-Aryans and promoting sport as a means to prepare for military training. The 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin became the ideal platform for Hitler and the Nazis to display the physical superiority of the Aryan race. However, the exclusion of non-Aryans prompted a boycott debate that threatened Berlin’s position as host.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Byrne (right) of Ireland avoids a glancing left from Kurschat of Germany during their Lightweight fight. Middleweight.—U.S.S.R. contestants won their third Gold Medal with Chatkov defeating Tapia (Chile) on a knock-out. This was the only final in which a medal was won by a knock-out. Third placings were Chapron (France) and Zalazar (Argentine). Light Heavyweight.—In his defeat of Negrea (Rumania) Boyd was the first U.S.A. competitor to win a Gold Medal. This was a very hard fought contest, both boys standing toe to toe, each trying for a knock-out. Boyd defeated the much-favoured Mouraouskas, (U.S.S.R.), in the semi-finals on points. Third placings were Mouraouskas and Lucas (Chile). Heavyweight.—This was the most surprising division of the series. It was the belief of many present that Moukhine (U.S.S.R.) would be the winner. His first bout was with Lozanov (Bulgaria); to whom he conceded nearly six stone. In the beginning of the first round Lozanov almost floored Moukhine with his terrific punching power, and it was not until half-way through the second round that Moukhine started to hurt his opponent with body blows. The third round showed Moukhine clearly the master, punching his oponent at will, and scoring with every blow ; with only 20 seconds to go Lozanov retired and Moukhine was declared the winner.
