Very cool. Diving has come a long way.
I could probably have competed diving back then and I'm not even a diver (just a gymnast).

No belly flops for the fuhrer

None of these guys seems to have body hair; also you'd get into pretty good shape just climbing that tower all the time.
The is one of the few places in Berlin the Allies didn't bomb or shell the shit out of.

I don't care for Riefenstahl films; she had no sense of humor let alone irony.
Still, on every other level she was a great film-maker.

Three of the shots were done in reverse; I've often wondered what Riefenstahl could have accomplished with faster, color film, stedicam and Panavision.
One shot is in such slow motion that camera must've been running like an out-of-control locomotive!

i dont know about you but i'd only compete 106c on 3m for $50.

@btbamlove I think you're right. pause at 0:28 and you can see that this guy has a shit swastika on his swim suit. These suits look dumb anyway.

Interesting fact for those unaware: I watched this in my college Humanities class. We learned that this is actually a propaganda film for the Nazi's as it represents the Germans as ethereal and perfect, the ideal humans in Hitler's eyes.

Filmmaker Leni Reifenstahl was the closest person to Hitler to avoid war-crime inditment. She lived to be 101 but never made another film. What might she have done? Her work is awesome. This is from her OLYMPIA and to my eye it's still the best sports video I know. TV coverage always looks like an immitation and usually doesn't make it. She created the lighting and carrage of the Olympic torch, still, only of our most beautiful rituals, currently being overdone by the Chinese. :)
