Berlin 1936 - Olympic Games Under the Swastika | History Documentary
Watch 'Mein Kampf: The Secrets of Adolf Hitler's Book of Evil' here: • Mein Kampf: The Secret...
On the 1st August 1936, 100,000 spectators watched as Hitler and the Olympic delegates arrived at the Olympic opening ceremony in Berlin. The Olympic flags hung cheerfully side-by-side banners bearing the Nazi swastika. With the help of specialists and images from Léni Riefenstahl’s 1938 film, ‘Olympia’, we see what really went on behind the scenes and investigate the secret negotiations and compromises made by the International Olympic Committee to bring the Olympics to Berlin.

Be honest. The first concentration camps were not in Dacau Germany, but in South Africa during the Boer war. They were British and killed thousands of mainly women and children through starvation and disease.

The British set up concentration camps during the Boor war to contains the anti-British elements in South Africa. Also, the Austro-Fascists (Catholic right) set up a concentration camp in Austria to house the social democrats and labor leaders with trial. So, there were concentration camps before Dachau. However, they just didn't get to the level of human indecency of the 3rd Reich ones.

Fun fact: Adolf "Adi" Dassler, who with his brother Rudolf "Rudi" Dassler owned the small Dassler athletic shoe company, traveled from his hometown to the Olympic Village to hand over a suitcase full of the company's latest athletic shoes to American Jesse Owens, who was admired for his accomplishments by German sports lovers. Owens won his events wearing Dassler shoes. Several years later Adolf and his brother fell out with each other and split the company into two. Adolf chose his new company's name by combining his nickname with the first 3 letters of his surname: Adi + Das = Adidas. His brother didn't follow suit but named his new company Puma.

Big Tech is now boasting that they are giving scores to businesses who don't adhere to how the Govt wants them to act....Bad score then there are serious ramifications.....This isn't a secret and is right there out I the open so It's not part of any "secret" operations--quite the contrary....Right there for anyone to see.......millions of Americans loving every second of it and demanding more shaming and more monitoring of businesses and citizens...It's really quite astonishing............

This flag 🇬🇧 is not England. It is the union flag. This is the English Flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. The United Kingdom (and quite literally the flag if you layer them on top of each other) is made up of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (their flag doesn’t contribute to the Union flag) and Northern Ireland (good luck finding the St Patrick’s Saltire emoji). England alone wasn’t at war with Germany, the whole of the United Kingdom was at war.

Perhaps if the Olympics were in Atlanta, Montreal or somewhere else then there wouldn't have been a WWII.
