XI летние Олимпийские игры проводились в Берлине (Германия) с 1 по 16 августа 1936 года. Соревнования по парусному спорту прошли в Киле. С 49 странами и 3961 атлетами эти Игры поставили новый рекорд по количеству участников. Самым выдающимся спортсменом Игр стал американец Джесси Оуэнс с 4 золотыми медалями. На церемонии открытия Игр была продолжена существующая с 1928 года традиция зажжения олимпийского огня.Открытие Олимпиады впервые транслировалось по телевидению в прямом эфире.По некоторым данным, Адольф Гитлер, приветствуя спортсменов, отказался пожимать руки чернокожим и евреям; представители МОК были вынуждены сделать ему замечание, чтобы он пожимал руки или всем или никому, так как это противоречит самому олимпийскому движению. Гитлер предпочел совсем не пожимать рук. В остальном Олимпиада в Берлине прошла практически без эксцессов, строго по намеченному плану и с небывалым размахом, демонстрируя высокий организационный уровень, что было использовано в интересах пропаганды национал-социализма, а германские спортсмены заметно обогнали сборную США по наградам. По количеству золотых, серебряных и бронзовых медалей Германия превзошла все остальные страны-участницы, а сборная Италии, союзница Рейха, первенствовала в футболе.

Abandoned Olympic Village 1936 Berlin
Decaying: During the war, Nazi solders used the Olympic complex as a hospital. As the German military were overwhelmed in the final few weeks of the war, Russian troops used the venue as a barracks in 1945
Legend: The athletes' village for the infamous 1936 Olympics Games is now little known and in a state of disrepair
State of disrepair: Around 4,000 athletes had the use of the luxury accommodation in the complex named 'village of peace'
Crumbling: The German chancellor wanted to ban black and Jewish athletes from competing in the first televised Olympics
Poor condition: Other nations threatened to boycott the games if the Third Reich had its wish and banned all black and Jewish athletes
Unused: Although the 100,000 seater stadium built for the games is still used today as one of the finest sports venues in Europe, much of the lesser-known Olympic Village (pictured) is falling apart
Falling away: On the outskirts of Berlin, the Olympic Village in Wustermark features training areas, a swimming pool and dormitories which are far from their peak condition of 80 years ago
Capacity: The stadium built for the games is still used today in Berlin by Hertha BSC and some matches for the German national team
All-time great: The American Jesse Owens won four gold medals in track and field much to the disappointment of Hitler and his supporters
Athletes: The village was meant to portray a peaceful, idyllic picture of a modern Germany but only three years later the Third Reich would be at war with Britain, France and much of Europe
Crowds: During the war, Nazi solders used the Olympic complex as a hospital. As the German military were overwhelmed in the final few weeks of the war, Russian troops used the venue as a barracks in 1945 (pictured is the Olympic Stadium)
Olympic vision: The 1936 Olympics were the first to be televised and were beamed around the world in black and white
On film: The record books tell how in three weeks the participants consumed 100 cows, 91 pigs, over 650 lambs, 8,000lb of coffee, 150,000lb of vegetables and 160,000 pints of milk
German sporting victory: Adolf Hitler was delighted as his German ‘supermen’ won the Games with a medal count of nearly 90
Berlin in 1936: Among the new tenants of the Olympic Village were the torturers of SMERSH and the KGB, interrogators who turned the subterranean rooms housing the swimming pool’s heating system into a theatre of pain and death
Then and now: The swimming pool then in 1936 (right) and today in 2016 (left) has now deteriorated at the rate of other venues
From the past: Since the fall of communism, the Olympic Village has been largely undisturbed, any hopes of restoring it scuppered by its Nazi history
Needing work: The village has even hosted sporting competitions and is accessible through tours and visits including to Jesse Owen's reconstructed dormitory
