aug 1, 1936 - Nazi Olympics
Description:
Nazi Germany used the 1936 Olympic Games for propaganda purposes. The Nazis promoted an image of a new, strong, and united Germany while masking the regime’s targeting of Jews and Roma (Gypsies) as well as Germany’s growing militarism. Hitler used the Olympics to try and prove the Aryan race theory correct, but he was wrong as most of the representatives lost.
