Adolf Hitler swept to power in Germany in the early 1930s and soon set out to stage the most extravagant and spectacular summer Olympics yet: the 1936 Berlin Games. And countries around the world dutifully put together their teams and made the trip to Germany. Why?
In a new series from Revisionist History, Malcolm Gladwell and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey explore the games behind the Games, the most consequential Olympics in history. Along the way, they meet a collection of the world’s daffiest aristocrats. A couple of American construction moguls. A legendary triple-jumper. And one discerning journalist.
Heroes and villains. The clear-eyed and the deluded. All of them going to Hitler’s Olympics.
Here's the first episode of the series. If you want to hear more, find Revisionist History wherever you're listening now.
