Quote
"Sport is prostituted when sport loses its independent and democratic character and becomes a political institution... Nazi Germany is endeavoring to use the Eleventh Olympiad to serve the necessities and interests of the Nazi Regime rather than the Olympic ideals."
"There has never before been developed a propaganda campaign equal to that of the Olympic Games... The foreigner who comes to us shall see the German people united under its leader, Hitler. Tourism is an important weapon in the struggle for the re-establishment of Germany's world rank."
