Summary

In 1936, the Olympics were hosted in Berlin, Germany. You guessed it - things were not great. We'll talk about the wonderfully talented American Jesse Owens, the invention of Basketball, and the propaganda of Leni Riefenstahl. It was a scary time to be in Europe - Hitler thought that every Olympics would be in Berlin for the rest of time, but they did not. The basketball courts would later be hanging fields.
