What Is the Olympic Torch Relay?
The Olympic Torch Relay was not a tradition brought about from the ancient Olympic Games, but an idea introduced by Carl Diem during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.
The project, in fact, was entirely funded and produced by the Nazis. (Hitler admired the ancient Greeks and believed the Nazis were their heirs.)
