An Endless Olympic Chain An endless Olympic Chain By Karl Lennartz Germany’s biggest popular newspaper BILD marked its 60th anniversary by highlighting a number of stories. Amongst the "sensations" was the story of a chain produced by the 1936 Olympic Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games in Berlin. The IOC Members were supposed to wear it then and at future Games as a symbol of office. The article suggested that the chain had belonged to Theodor Lewald. He had been President of the Organising Committee and a Member of the IOC Executive until 1938. Lewald had died in 1947. As the article claimed that the chain was unique, and in addition contained a series of errors, I decided along with Jürgen Buschmann, the Director of the Carl and Liselott Diem Archive, to write to the author in the following terms: which could be worn by its members and recognized by “Dear Mr. Reuth, we have read with great interest everybody Secretary-General Carl Diem, for whom the IOC your article ‘BILD finds the Olympic Chain of the Nazi was “the high senate of physical culture”3 had his eye on Games’ in the edition of 23/24 June 2012, which was a professorial tenure at a university.

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.

Page 3 Body………………………………………………... Page 4 Nazi Germany……………………………………. Page 4 The Use of Propaganda………………………. Page 6 The Games………………………………………….. Page 10 Conclusion………………………………………. Page 11 Bibliography…………………………………… Page 12 2 Nota D Introduction The 1936 Berlin Olympics were held during the rule of Adolf Hitler, who had risen into power in 1934 and faced a lot of pressure from the countries inside Europe because they questioned their idea of a dictatorship. During the period between 1932, year in which the venue for the 1936 Olympics was decided and when the Games started in August 1936 there was a very big focus on using the Olympic Games as a mean of propaganda to attempt to show a positive image of Germany to the rest of the world and also to the people inside Germany. Throughout this essay I am going to analyze the ways in which Hitler attempted to create this positive image of Germany and how successful it was on displaying it. The idea is to understand how they managed to use the Olympic games and turn them into a political advantage that gain control over Germany and the start of the World War.1 The Berlin Games were a huge opportunity to ease the tension that Hitler’s regime was creating at that time, attempting to postpone any further political or social problems as far as possible. This was of great importance because the Games would draw peoples attention from the Nazi Party and the problems that Germany was facing at the time.

  • Germany and the 1948 Olympic Games in London] by Dr
    GERMANY AND THE 1948 OLYMPIC GAMES IN LONDON] BY DR. JüRgEN BUSCHMANN AND DR. KARL LENNARTZ REACTIVATION OF THE CONNECTIONS TO THE IOC owards the end of World War II, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) contained two German Tmembers: Karl Ritter von Halt and Duke Adolf Friedrich zu Mecklenburg. A third member, field-marshal Walter von Reichenau, had died in Russia of a stroke (cere- bral apoplexy) on 17th January, 1942. Even after the war zu Mecklenburg and von Halt were regularly to be found in the lists of the IOC. In Edström’s first letter to the IOC-members on 1st June, 1945, Edström voices his concern about the fate of the two Germans, since he had no information of their destinies. After the war von Halt reported to the Russian commander’s office and was arrested, remaining in the internment camp, Buchenwald, until 1950. Grete von Halt, Diem and the Duke of Mecklenburg, wrote many letters to Edström, Brundage and other IOC members, begging for help and support for him. Duke Adolf Friedrich had fled from his estates in Mecklenburg and taken refuge at a castle in Eutin, Schleswig Holstein. The former secretary-general of the Olympic Games 1936 in Berlin and the planned Winter Olympic Games 1940 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Carl Diem, was director of the International Olympic Institute, an organisation which had been founded by the “Deutsches Reich” at Coubertin’s insti- gation. In this function Diem edited the “Olympische Rundschau” (Olympic Review) for the IOC “with official gazettes of the International Olympic Committee”. Further he participated in the 50th anniversary of the IOC in Lausanne in June, 1944.

  • The Olympic Flame
    THE OLYMPIC FLAME A Christian Perspective Andrew Chapman The Olympic Flame A Christian Perspective Andrew Chapman Oxford June 2012 Introduction Until the twenty third of April 2012, I had perceived the Olympic Games primarily as a sporting event, albeit one with a pagan history, having its origins in ancient Greece. On that day, I did a little research, and discovered to my horror, that it is not so much a matter of pagan roots but of a still living tree of pagan and idolatrous worship. Acts of worship to foreign gods are an integral part of the Olympic Games, enshrined in the Olympic Charter and in the Protocols of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is the governing authority of the Games. For a Christian nation like Britain (which despite its great backsliding still has the Coronation Oath, Christian acts of worship in State schools, oaths on the Holy Bible in Courts, and a majority of the population describing themselves as Christian) to host the Olympic Games and thereby be responsible for the commission and execution and propagation of idolatrous worship is a great transgression against Almighty God, who gave us His only Son to die for us that we might be saved from our iniquity and find the path of eternal peace in Him. For the church of Jesus Christ to join in the celebrations of a pagan nature which have already begun with the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Britain on 18 May 2012, is to commit a sin of the worst sort, amounting in effect to a denial of the Lord and a transgression of the most basic of all commandments: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' Exodus 20 v 3 Ceremonies The IOC state explicitly that the 'ceremonial aspects of the Olympic Games have served to set them apart from other international sport competitions'1.
