About the episode
In 1931, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Berlin the 1936 Olympics, a sign Germany was returning to normal international relations after World War One. Yet Adolf Hitler's rise to power presented the IOC with more than a few problems, one being that Hitler hated the Olympics, and another was many countries wanted to boycott the games. Titus and Mick look at how Hitler came to embrace the Olympics, and how international opposition to them crumbled. If you’d like more Sports Bizarre, become a member of Bizarre Plus.
