Hans Ertl: Virtuose der Kamera, Opportunist der Macht
*Olympia* is Leni Riefenstahl's two-part documentary film about the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin, released in 1938. Though celebrated for its groundbreaking cinematography and athletic imagery, it is also controversial for its association with Nazi propaganda and the aesthetic glorification of the human body during the Third Reich.
