BERLIN OLYMPICS 1936
Hitler’s nazi regime wanted
to impress the youth of the
world when staging these
olympics. Germany sent an
invitation to the Norwegian
Olympic Committee to send
30 boys aged 16 – 18 as
guests of the 3rd Reich. KNS
was asked to put forward
two teenagers, and Finn Chr.
Ferner and Børre Falkum-
Hansen were selected.
These valuable photos document
some impressions of a
Norwegian teenager. We see
he could not avoid taking
snapshots of military parades.

The olympic torch was
brought by runners through
6 countries overland from
Greece for the first time. The
teenagers stayed in Berlin,
but the sailing competitors
were brought up from Kiel to
witness the opening ceremony.
For the sailing events in
Kiel, a special breakwater
was built to house the competing
yachts outside the
German Yacht Club in Kiel
(formerly the imperial). The
national flags of the medal
winners were hoisted and
the national anthem of the
winning country was played
for the first time.
