Topic	TIL: The Olympic Torch Relay tradition was started by Hitler and the Nazis.

Funnily enough, Hitler wanted to use the games to demonstrate the superiority of his so-called "master race", but then got upset when "lesser races" (especially Black people) started beating his countrymen. Germany won far more medals at the 1936 games than any other country and were a massive success to Hitler and the Nazis, sadly. According to Jesse in the book Triumph (incredible read about Jesse Owens and his performance in the 1936 games, if you ever get a chance), he says that FDR snubbed him but Hitler didn't. Fun fact: Owens started wearing shoes made by a German company at the Olympics. That company would split into two smaller companies- Adidas and Puma. --- I don't understand how people have to "get ready for bed." I'm always ready for bed. <cite>Matelite posted [p:956995426] in TIL: The O...
