english NT

let's talk about raimu doe

Nah it was just the Italians and the French and it's expected from the Italians. Apparently there was some confusion because the Olympic salute is pretty much the same as the Nazi one, but only two countries threw it up at the opening ceremony when the Fuhrer was observing from on high

We reviewed photos of the entrance of all 50 nations in the 1936 Official Report. Of those 50 nations, 37 exhibited neither the Olympic nor Nazi Salute, nine nations exhibited the Olympic Salute (Greece, Bulgaria, Colombia, Estonia, France, Canada, Monaco, Peru and Hungary in marching order), while four nations performed the Nazi salute (Afghanistan, Italy, Austria and Germany in marching order).

although this is only for the opening,
the english did a hitler salute in '36 at a friendly in london because they were forced by the football association (pic above)

Oh yeah Austria threw it up too, not surprisingly. Didn't see any of those others in Leni's film.

I see you watching some '38 @rowjaystan

any recs?

I should crack back into that Criterion Olympics box set before the games start up

a natural expected alot of ham and histrionics but it became an increasingly, surprisingly affecting and nuanced performance as the film went on
