The summer games of the XI Olympiad were held in Berlin under the increasingly hostile host of Nazi Germany. Fuehrer Adolf Hitler wished the games to be an announcement to the world on the superiority (athletic and otherwise) of the Aryan race as well as telegraphing his future subjugation of the Jews. African American track and field athlete Jesse Owens shattered Hitler's Olympic plans, however, becoming the most successful athlete to compete at the games and turning in memorable performances.
