• Source 17 disapproves of the Nazis’ use
of the Games for propaganda…
• CONTENT: It shows the foreign
competitors with nose rings – being led as
if they are cattle
• CONTEXTUAL KNOWLEDGE: The rings
are the Olympic Rings, showing that the
Games are being misused by Goebbels
3: A propaganda success?
• 49 nations saw the modern technology of
the Olympic stadium e.g. the television
cameras and timing devices
• Very efficient organisation
• The architecture, size and facilities of the
stadium itself
• Germany came top of the medal table
4: A failure?
• Visitors were worried by the fanatical
devotion the Germans showed to Hitler…
• … and by the army and SS everywhere.
• Above all, Jesse Owens’ 4 gold medals
and 11 world records proved that Aryan
people were not superior to black people.
5: Why was propaganda more
successful in Germany?
a) because Germany people had been
brainwashed for three years
b) because life in Germany in 1929-33 had been
very bad and Germans were grateful to Hitler
for the ‘recovery’ he brought to Germany
c) because no access to alternative / foreign news
