 BERLIN 36 (15) GERMANY 2009 HEIDELBACH, KASPAR £15.99
Inspired by true events, Berlin 36 is one of the biggest untold Olympic
scandals. In the days leading up to the 1936 Olympics, the fate of high
jumper Gretel Berg man n hangs in the balance as it is decided whether
or not a Jewish athlete can be a part of the German Olympic team. The
Nazis reluctantly include Gretel in their Olympic team, but to ensure
that she doesn’t win gold they also include a mysterious German rival,
the unknown Marie Kettalar. Like Gretel, Marie is also an outsider
within the German team and both athletes soon form a strong bond of
friendship and mutual support. But Marie hides a dark secret known only
by the Nazi elite, a secret so dangerous it could completely undermine
their Olympics success.
