简要:This movie records the story of how the Nazis and the International Olympic Committee transformed a small sports event into a modern Olympic Games to achieve mutual benefit. The main theme and controversial issues of the 1936 Olympics have continued to this day: monuments, budget overruns, collusion with authoritarian regimes, corruption, and sometimes even bribery. The Nazi Games features unprecedented archival fragments and new research, revealing how the Olympics, as we know it, were shaped by the collaborative interests between Hitler and ambitious Olympic gentlemen. After the initial lack of trust, both the International Olympic Committee and the Nazis found common ground, turning the 1936 Olympics into the largest ever Olympic Games in the world. Therefore, Hitler officially promised that Jews would not be excluded from the German Olympic delegation, and the International Olympic Committee decided not to control it. At the same time, Western democratic countries began to question the morality of the Olympics hosted by the Nazi regime. Are you going or not? That's where the problem lies. But the President of the US Olympic Committee, Avery Brendag, successfully smeared the boycott movement as a "Jewish conspiracy". Therefore, the first large-scale Olympic boycott was avoided.
