The 1936 Olympic Games brought new a kind of global coverage: radio. Millions of people around the world followed the sporting events that took place here. In Grünau, reporters watched the finishes from "Haus West" and reported live. At this station, you will hear broadcast reports from the same 1936 Olympics race from two very different perspectives: one from NBC in the USA and one from the German Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft.
