The flat sounds interesting. I might try to get it. Olympia is pretty good too. Neat film techniques for 1935 with the special effects of the Olympic torch being carried thru various countries on its way to Germany and the huge spectacles in the stadium. Also interesting how many athletes gave the Nazi salute. Perhaps the most gripping event was the Equestrian one with horses jumping obstacles. Lot more dangerous than would be allowed today I think. Several riders had bad falls and one German officer broke his arm but had to get back up and finish it anyway. The event was won by an American Cavalry officer from Los Angeles.
