Uncommon pairing of German-language commemorative photo and card books for the German Olympic Games of 1936: a softcover book entitled ‘Olympic 1936,’ published by Pet Cremer of Dusseldorf-Heerdt, 9.5 x 12.75, approximately 70 pages, featuring detailed full coverage of the Summer and Winter Games held in Berlin and Garmisch, including a complete 144-photo card set of the rarely circulated ‘1936 Pet Cremer Olympia’ issue, which includes rare photos of Jesse Owens and Sonja Henie; and a lace-bound softcover book entitled ‘Die XI. Olympiade Berlin 1936,’ published by Firma Heinrich Franck Söhne in Berlin, 32 numbered pages, 13 x 11.5, containing all 192 color cards of athletes competing in the 1936 Olympic games, which again includes Owens. In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered wear to both covers, as well as some toning and spotting to inner pages, with the majority of cards unaffected.
