[Bell Historians] Re: 1936 German Olympic Bell

[David Cawley]

It was a huge steel bell, and there is a grim photograph of it, swastikas and all, being trundled to the stadium with an escort of armed soldiers, in Ernest Morris' 'Bells of All Nations'. I seem to remember some discussion of the bell and its present whereabouts a few years ago, but the details escape me. It should be an interesting and topical article.

  Any fluent German speakers on the list looking for a challenge?

  I am seeking someone to research and write an article for the RW on 
  the bell that was the centre-piece of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.

  Please contact me off-list if you are interested.

  Thanks.
