Draft:1936 Summer Olympics national flag bearers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the opening ceremony of the 1936 Summer Olympics, athletes from each country participating in the Olympics paraded into the arena. As Olympic tradition dictates, participating nations paraded in the alphabetical order of the language of the host country (here German), except Greece, who enters first at the founding nation of the Olympics, and the host country (here German Reich) who enters last.

During the Parade of Nations, athletes from all participating countries entered the Olympiastadion (Berlin). Each team was led by a flag bearer that was one of their athletes or officials, designated either by their respective National Olympic Committee (NOC) or by the athletes themselves.
