Se puede ver como soldados estadounidenses retiran obras de arte de la residencia del jerarca nazi Joseph Goebels (¿dónde estarán esas obras de arte ahora? ¿estarán todas? Me viene a la memoria el famoso dicho "el que roba al ladrón tiene cien años de perdón" ¿Será algo así?) En la segunda parte se ve la casa de Himmler (al que se sindica como uno de los máximos responsables por la ejecución de unas 5 millones de personas). Allí se encuentra a Himmler muerto. Se suicidó bebiendo veneno

James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens (September 12, 1913 -- March 31, 1980) was a popular African-American athlete and civic leader. He participated in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany where he achieved international fame by winning four gold medals; one each in the 100 meter dash, the 200 meter dash, the long jump, and for being part of the 4x100 meter relay team
Una muestra cabal de la utilización del deporte con fines políticos y propagandísticos. Otro caso paradigmático de esto, fue el campeonato mundial de fútbol Argentina '78 durante la dictadura militar de Videla, Masera y Agosti. En éste video se muestra el desfile de las delegaciones, el saludo al estilo nazi de las tribunas y de las propias delegaciones, incluyendo a la francesa. Al final, la apertura oficial por parte de Hitler.
Un rappel historique : le monde s'est déjà demandé au moins une fois s'il fallait, ou pas, participer aux jeux olympiques, puisqu'en 1936, c'est dans un Berlin nazi qu'ils étaient organisés. Certains pays avaient envoyé une délégation réduite, certains athlètes juifs avaient décidé de boycotter. En France, la question fut vite tranchée : on participerait. Le film de la cérémonie d'ouverture montre qu'on ne va pas se contenter de cela : attendez patiemment la délégation française, regardez comment elle salue la tribune officielle, et vous saisirez que la France n'est pas toujours ce pays autonome et rebelle qu'on veut bien mettre en avant. Après coup, on justifiera cela en affirmant qu'il s'agissait du salut olympique, ce qui est vrai. Néanmoins,on constatera que la plupart des autres délégations se sont abstenues de le pratiquer, (et lors des autres éditions des JO, la France n'a pas eu ce zèle). Nous ne sommes qu'en 36, mais les français ont manifestement déjà trouvé un terrain d'entente avec leurs voisins d'outre rhin. On sait que quelques années plus tard, une guerre éclair suffira à leur laisser, pour de bon, le territoire français. Ce sera alors sur les Champs Elysées que le même salut pourra de nouveau se pratiquer.
NB : N'oublions pas de créditer Leni Riefenstahl, qui a réalisé, pour le compte de Hitler, ces films retraçant, avec la perspective nazie, ces jeux olympiques. On sait quelle influence son travail aura sur la manière dont on filmera, à sa suite, le sport. Ici aussi, le nazisme fait preuve d'un pragmatisme qui ne peut être qu'inquiétant
La famosa pelea entre Luis Angel Firpo (Argentina) y Jack Dempsey (EEUU) en 1920. Después de varias caídas, Firpo, de un golpe, lo arroja a Dempsey fuera del ring. Es conocida la anécdota de que, para que Dempsey despertara, el periodista sobre el que había caído le clava su lapicera en las nalgas. Finalmente, Dempsey lo derrotó por k.o. en ese mismo round.

Imágenes del accidente en el que muriera Carlos Gardel, en Medellín, y del multitudinario funeral en Buenos Aires, extraídas de la película "Carlos Gardel, Historia de un ídolo" (Solly Schroder, 1964).
El relato es de JULIO JORGE NELSON (Seudónimo de Isaac Rosofsky, 1913-1976), estrella de la radio y una de las máximas autoridades en la figura de Gardel. En el ambiente del tango se lo apodaba "La viuda". A Nelson pertenece la máxima de que Gardel "cada día canta mejor".
Papá solía contar que él (tenía 13 años en ese momento) vio pasar el cortejo subido a una ventana de una casa.
Escala del TITANIC en el puerto de Belfast y la partida hacia su destino ya tan conocido.
Esta es la explicación sobre el video y su historia. Está en inglés, lamentablemente.
After the death of her cinema projectionist husband in England, his widow discovers in her garden shed a rusting canister below his work bench which contains authentic period newsreel film ( which appeared to have been forgotten ) of the R.M.S.Titanic at rest in her engraving ( fitting out ) dock in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1911 shortly after she had been launched there on 31/5/11.
Unfortunately this is the only actual film of the famous ship in existence and it does not last long. To make the video an acceptable length commercially, the producers of this film also included period film of the construction of her elder sister, R.M.S.Olympic whose keel was laid in 1908 and the ice flows from 1912 to give viewers an insight of what the origin of Titanic was like and the environment during her tragic collision accident with an iceberg at 11.40p.m. on Sunday 15/4/12.
Also seen is authentic footage of the Mackay-Bennett, which sailed out of Halifax , Nova Scotia, Canada being chartered by the undertakers ( morticians ) acting for the relatives of the deceased, in a quest to find and preserve bodies recovered from the sinking location in the North Atlantic where crew and passengers perished.
The saviour ship of the 705 souls aboard who survived was R.M.S. Carpathia, which is seen steaming across the ocean. You will also see the White Star line offices in New York and people helping to organise relief for survivors together with certain of Titanic's suriving crew including Robert Hichens the coxain who was actually at the ship's wheel during the collision and was notionally put in charge of the same lifeboat as The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Carpathia's captian, Sir Arthur Rostron is also seen but he does not seem happy to be filmed for too long!
The point is that since R.M.S. Olympic was the elder sister ship, she attracted the bulk of the publicity causing the media to pass her off as the Titanic, after the tragedy on film and in photographs since obviously there was no other cine film of Titanic available.
Undoubtedly if you see old film of The Titanic, apart from what is mentioned above, it is probably of the Olympic. Typical are the launch - Olympic's hull was painted grey for the cameras of the day and at Southampton on her maiden voyage in June 1911, by which time it had been painted regulation black separated by a gold band which separated the white painted upper structure.
Some people still doubt that the ship in the opening shot is " Titanic." Unless you were actually there, or can prove the " historians " wrong, please be my guest !
As far as I am concerned the opening film is " the only film of Titanic in existence ."
How were large buildings torn down before there were wrecking balls and bulldozers? American Mutoscope and Biograph captured the dismantling of the Star Theatre in New York in 1902. It is estimated it took 30 days to complete. The music is Hastings Street from the 1920's by Blind Blake and Charlie Spand.
