    Just watched it on BBC2.
    I know it was on the other day too.
    Has some WW2 footage of Tommies in the snow & some GIs in tanks.
    (That's the WW2 content taken care of.)
    Quite a bit on the 1936 games with British team doing Nazi salute , removal of 'Jews are not wanted here' signs & German Ice hockey team including their best player- a Jew who was allowed to leave the country afterwards.

    Old Dan certainly keeps busy, doesn't he?
