the 1936 summer olympics

In 1936, the summer olympics were held in berlin germany. Hitler used the event in order to publicize the new country they were building. The nazis promoted an image of a strong and united germany while masking and building up a facade behind the idea of anti-semitism and also the racist policies and growing militarism. It was the first time in the game's history that people in europe and united states called for a "boycott" of olympics because the host country was abusing of their humans rights. The movement eventually failed but it set an alarming message to futrure campaign which was pay attention to the rights the host country gives you.
Hitler was able to camouflage its dictatorship for two weeks while the olympics were being held in his country. journalists were able to capture a peaceful and tolerant Germany while in reality is was spinning out of control.
By rejecting the boycott, nations such as the united sates missed out on opportunities to take the stand and give hitler pause and "bolstered" international resistance to the nazi tyranny. As the games were ending, expansionist policies and prosecutions of jews were dramatically accelerating culminating in WWI and the Holocaust.

Besides building a facade, Hitler used the media as a way to publicize and promote the myth of the "Aryan" race, and the racial superiority and physical prowess it held over the rest of germany's population. The german athletes were idealized in paintings by having well developed muscle tone and heroic strength, as well as some gorgeous aryan facial features.
hitler was able to promote a "Aryan only" policy in german athletic organization.

overall, hitler used the olympics as a way to publicize his country, but was able to make everyone belie that the country he was ruling was a fair and friendly country and everyone on his spoil was perfect;
