Olympia 36. Band I: Die Olympischen Winterspiele Vorschau und Berlin. – Band II: Die XI. Olympischen Spiele in Berlin 1936 First edition of this famous photograph album featuring the propaganda of the Nationalist-Socialist regime through the Winter and Summer Olympics of 1936 organised in Hitler's Germany and glorifying, through sporting exploits, the superiority of the Aryan race (especially that of the Germans) over other peoples.
Binding in full blue cloth, titles in black, titles in black repeated on the first boards, with a gilt bell stamped in the centre and a motto in black.
Work illustrated with inset plates (including one folding at the end of the first volume) and around 300 photographs.
A beautiful copy, complete of all its photographs, 7 of which represent, to the great displeasure of Adolf Hitler, the great winner of these Olympic games transformed into a propaganda showcase for Nazi Germany, the triple Olympic champion Jesse Owens.
The photographs, patiently and innocently collected in cigarette packets, were then glued in albums in order to see them completed, thus participating in the glorification of the Hitler regime.
