Photographer Didier Gaillard-Hohlweg's desciption of the series 1936 Olympic Stadium in Berlin, through the historical context, the tension between a sport vision and manipulation of nazis (English version). Extract : By hosting the XIth Olympic Games, the Nazi regime collected the benefits of this huge propaganda success: the opportunity of shaping the Nazi image to the German people and to the rest of the world. Also, the positive media coverage of this event led to drop the international pressure: part of diplomatic tensions vanished away, the consequent freedom gave Hitler the opportunity to accelerate the German expansionism and the persecution of Jews and other enemies of the state, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust.
