The Berlin Olympic Stadium opened to the public in 1936, a unique combination of sports facility, military parade ground and National Socialist party showplace. From the site's beginnings as a racecourse through its history as the Reichssportfeld, up to the redesign that will make it once again the focus of public attention on the occasion of the 2006 FIFA World Cup football championship, Historic Site traces the history of the Olympic grounds, examining each stage in their building and history. Three essays reflect on themes irrevocably linked to the site: the significance of the 1936 Olympic Games for the National Socialists; the way in which the "commemoration of heroes" developed following the First World War; and the site's international architectural context. This is a richly illustrated guide to an iconic structure and the changes that have come upon it, indicative--now as in previous generations--of the changes throughout the country and the region.

Wonderful story of six ladies competing in the 1928 Olympics as the country's very first women's Track & Field team. We are provided a brief history of each athlete and how she made this Olympic squad. Each with a very different background and personality, the reader is drawn to their enthusiasm and contributions to the team.
Incidents throughout the story of commendable efforts are most entertaining. You feel as though you are in the stands or next to the track cheering them on! The outcomes are realistic (because they are!) yet not always predictable. I will share this book with other folks interested in sports, competition and especially Track and Field.
