Baille Berlin Commissioner Committee Conversation Count Olympic Olympics Organising 1936

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Count Baillet-Latour (Count Baille-Latour, left) engages in a deep conversation with two prominent figures of the 1936 Berlin Olympics: Dr. Lippert (Dr., center), the Commissioner of State for Berlin, and Dr. von Lewald (Dr. von Lewald, right), the President of the Olympic Organising Committee. The image captures the intense focus and engagement of the three men as they discuss the intricacies of organizing the historic event. Dressed in formal attire typical of the 1930s, the Count, with his distinguished moustache and piercing gaze, exudes an air of authority and sophistication. Dr. Lippert, a distinguished gentleman with a serious expression, listens intently to the Count's words. Dr. von Lewald, a stern-looking man with a neatly trimmed beard, leans forward, gesturing animatedly as he contributes to the discussion. The Berlin Olympics, held in August 1936, were a significant moment in sports history, as they marked the first time that the Games were held in Nazi Germany. Despite the political tensions and controversies surrounding the event, it remains a landmark in the annals of the Olympic Games, with many memorable moments and record-breaking performances. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes planning and decision-making that went into making the Berlin Olympics a success. It is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the individuals involved in organizing this global event, and a reminder of the power of sport to bring people together, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
