    Description

    USA SALES ONLY.   SORRY.
    This is a rare, unopened and official packet of 25 original photographs of athletes taken during the
    1936 Olympics by the German photographers.
    Such photographs were sold as part of cigarette sales in Germany.
    There is slight wear on the packet outer covering as expected for a product this old (86 years).
    The packet's external official nomenclature is excellent and provided in German, of course.
    Note one includes the winner of 4 Gold Medals, Jesse Owens and another shows his name being posted
    as a winner. Mr. Owens' outstanding feats angered the ruthless German dictator Adolf Hitler.
    (I am displaying an
    example
    of the photos herein taken from a German ad
    and have not opened the packet being sold herein.)
    Translations for your reference include:
    Bilder Gruppe = Picture Group
    Cigaretten = Cigarette
    Bilderdienst = Picture Service
    Postfach = Post Office Box   (In this case, box 16 of Hamburg-Bahrenfeld)
