SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Wyoming Tribune (Cheyenne) dated Aug 2, 1936.
This newspaper contains a prominent inside page headline: "American Olympic Athletes Refuse to Give Nazi Salute." This was during the opeining of the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. Nazi leader Hitler was present to open the Olympics that day !!
The opening ceremony was held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. After the parade of nations and a speech by the president of the German Olympic Committee, the games were declared open by Adolf Hitler. Writer Thomas Wolfe, who was there, described the opening as an "almost religious event, the crowd screaming, swaying in unison and begging for Hitler. There was something scary about it; his cult of personality."
Hitler opened the games from his own box, on top of others. Writer David Wallechinsky has commented the event by saying that "This was his event, he wanted to be glorified."
