Berlin and its environs ; the scene of the Olympic Games 1936 : tourist folder in English and French : Berliner Verkehrsverein : Berlin : 1936 : outer cover
A bi-lingual folder and guide to Berlin, site of the 1936 Olympic Games, published by the Berlin Tourist Office in assocaition with the Landesverkehrsverband Berlin-Brandenburg/State Transport Association Berlin-Brandenburg. As well as the double cover showing the Berliner Funkturm/Berlin Radio Tower of 1926 against a background of the lakes upon which various sports took place, there are various illustrations of the city and its transport along with a map of the S-Bahn suburban railways and the U-Bahn.
Many of the Olympic and 1936 publications seem to have been shorn of any obvious reference to the National Socialist/Nazi regime. Howver, by 1936 the artists used for such work would have been vetted by the then Nazi Government and indeed many went on to be 'officially' sanctioned artists by the regime, whilst others would flee.
The reproduction of Nazi-era propaganda on this site is in no way an endorsement of Nazism, the images are simply posted as example of commercial art from the 1930s.
