Detailed tourist map of Berlin printed for the infamous 1936 Berlin Olympics, which covers the city, and, on the verso, the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic complex, the Olympic village, and the regatta course in Grünau.
The map was made by the Reichssportsverlag, or the Reich Sports Publishing House.
The 1936 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in 1936 in Berlin, Nazi Germany. These games are notable for Adolf Hitler's use of them to showcase his ideas of Aryan supremacy and for the controversial decision of many countries to participate despite the host country's aggressive policies. The games were also notable for Jesse Owens' four gold medals in track and field, which challenged Hitler's notions of Aryan supremacy.
