The Olympic torch relay was reinstated by the Nazis for the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Since then it has been a proud Olympic tradition.
At the closing ceremony of the 1936 Olympics Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympics) said:
“Keep the holy flame alight… The memories of courage will remain unextinguished, since courage was necessary to face the difficulties that the Fuhrer had countered with the slogan Wir Wollen Baueun (We want to build)… Let the German people and its leader be blessed, for the things that were just realised.”
Another person with something to say was the poor old Fuhrer:
"The sportive, knightly battle awakens the best human characteristics. It doesn't separate, but unites the combatants in understanding and respect. It also helps to connect the countries in the spirit of peace. That's why the Olympic Flame should never die."
Jolly good.

The poor old Fuhrer had been planning for decades to exterminate his best resource.
If Fuhrer had kept his Jewish scientists he might have won the war. Praise God he didn't.
