Coca-Cola Advertisements in Nazi Germany in the 1930s
Coca-Cola was one of the three official beverage sponsors with a Getraenkedienst (beverage service) at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Athletic competition was a Nazi ideal and the Coca-Cola GmbH cashed in heavily on this infatuation by becoming one of the biggest sponsors of sports events, most notably the annual Deutschlandrundfahrt (National Bycicle Championships) and the Soccer Cup.
Not enough.

My German is rusty.
“One people, one empire, one drink: Coke is it”
IMHO, based on the similarities between the political tyranny in Germany during the early thirties and the current U.S. political tyranny, guess we should be critical all their pictures/ads for current sporting events as well...

Fake.
Regret, Why?
While a boycott by the United States was suggested due to Germany’s National Socialist regime, it was not implemented as the President of the United States Olympic Committee, Avery Brundage, felt that politics should be kept separate from sport.[1] The other NOCs which threatened to boycott the Games for the same reason were the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands.[2] An alternative People’s Olympiad was planned to take place in Barcelona, Spain, but was cancelled at the last moment following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War after the athletes had already begun to arrive.[2] The civil war also meant that Spain’s NOC did not compete at the 1936 Games.[1] While no NOCs ended up boycotting the Games, a multinational Jewish-led boycott of the Games took place, with individual athletes refusing to take part.
The men’s basketball team won the gold medal.
Fake
Photoshopped!

I just remembered something that fits on this thread.
I have an old Life magazine full page ad for an engine oil brand dated a month before the Hindenburg disaster, I guess you can figure out what the full page image and sales pitch was bragging about.
Coke is it.
It appears FR’s collective BS Detector is on the ‘fritz.’
