What hopes did Hitler have for the Olympics that year and what happen?
Before WWII, NAZI Germany under Hitler (since 1933) hoped that the 1936 Olympic games would show the natural superiority of white, northern-European athletes. The Ayran race was supposed to make Hitler proud. But Germany did not do as well as they wanted. In the running events, black American runner Jesse Owens beat the white athletes and got a Gold medal. I'm not sure if other people of other so-called "inferior" races outperformed German or Ayrian athletes too.
