Olympic Games in Garmisch - Partenkirchen 1936 – sport, logistics, media

Journal Title: Studies in Sport Humanities - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue

Abstract

The subject matter of the 1936 Olympic Games is mainly taken up in a political context because, at that time, both the summer and winter Olympic Games were held in Nazi Germany. On the other hand, however, the Olympics proved to be a great success in terms of organisation, communication and new technological solutions. This article is an attempt to show the preparations and conduct of the Olympic Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in terms of organisation, logistics and media. The article is based on the offi cial Olympic report, press releases from that period and information from the Olympic exhibition at the stadium in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.<br/><br/>
