With two major international sporting events, the year 1936 gave the National Socialists the opportunity to present the German Reich to the outside world in a brilliant way. The Olympic Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , at which a torch relay is carried out for the first time , and in particular the Olympic Summer Games in Berlin are also exploited for propaganda purposes . From the Nazis' point of view, the perfect staging is not even tarnished by the fact that Jesse Owens, an African American , becomes the most successful athlete at the Games . After all, with the German Empire, a nation other than the United States becomes the most successful nation at the Summer Olympics for the first time.

Domestically, the oppression and persecution of Jews and other minorities is being consistently continued and, in terms of foreign policy, war is being prepared more and more openly . Adolf Hitler terminates the Locarno Treaties and lets the Wehrmacht march into the demilitarized Rhineland , an aggressive act to which France and Great Britain offer no significant resistance. The Berlin-Rome axis is concluded with the fascist Italy of Benito Mussolini , which has just overrun Ethiopia and founded the colony of Italian-East Africa , and the Anti-Comintern Pact against the Soviet Union with the Japanese Empire .

Civil war is now breaking out in Spain . The fascist Falange and the national right in the military under Francisco Franco tried to come to power with a coup, but encountered unexpectedly strong resistance from the republican government . After international brigades - voluntary associations made up of members of numerous European and American nations - support the republic in its defensive struggle, the German Reich sends the Condor Legion to support the fascists, a welcome dress rehearsal for the war fitness of the German armed forces.

The British monarchy will be shaken by a scandal at the end of the year. King Edward VIII prefers his relationship with divorced commoner Wallis Simpson and abdicates . His brother Albert follows him as George VI. to the throne after.

The cultural highlights of the year are the world premiere of Sergei Prokofiev's musical fairy tale Peter and the Wolf , Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone with the Wind , the International Surrealist Exhibition in London and the premiere of Charlie Chaplin's satirical silent film Modern Times .

Athletic the perfect year for the German Empire by defeating Max Schmeling in boxing against the previously undefeated Joe Louis "rounded" just in New York. And the Austrian Sepp "Bubi" Bradl manages the first jump of a person over 100 meters with skis .
