The 1936 Winter Olympics were held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, the same year the country hosted the Summer Games in Berlin, both staged under the Nazi government. Alpine skiing made its Olympic debut at these Games, though only in a combined event, and Norway topped the medal table. Like the Berlin Summer Games later that year, the event was used by the German government to project an image of the country to the world.
