| The Nazi Olympics of 1936 |
The planners of Nazi Olympics had planned out every detail from the festivals to the arrival of the teams. The city of Berlin had been cleaned, as well as all of the signs of the evils against the Jews. The city looked perfect, in Nazi eyes.
As the Games drew near, the Winter Olympic Games had to happen. At the time both the summer and winter games were held at the same time. The Winter Games of 1936 were held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps. The games went off almost as a rehearsal for August when more people’s eyes would be watching. The only problem encountered by the Nazis was the fact that reporters had spotted soldiers carrying out exercises near Garmisch. The result was that all troops were not allowed to do exercises in August. The games were considered a success and all were now ready for the true Games.
Only twelve days after the Winter Games, Hitler pulled a risky stunt. He marched soldiers into the demilitarized zone of Rhineland. Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Pact of 1925 said that Germany was not allowed any military inside this area. As the Nazi soldiers marched across the line, Hitler sat back in his office in a state of nervousness. He knew that if France came across the border to stop him, they would have to retreat quickly. France was however afraid of starting a new war and let Hitler keep the area. The true intentions of Hitler’s dream of expanding Germany’s border were very obvious now. The Games were still to take place only five months from this time.
