The relay of the Olympic flame , which transports the flame of Olympia, in Greece, to the different sites where the games will take place, was implemented for the first time in 1936 at the Berlin Olympics by Carl Diem, secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Games, under the direction of Joseph Goebbels, one of the most powerful and influential leaders of the Nazi regime.
The relay was planned with immense care by the Nazi leaders to project the image of the Third Reich as a modern, economically dynamic state with growing international influence.
During the first stint, the flame was transported from Olympia to Berlin over 3,187 kilometers by 3,331 runners in twelve days and eleven nights.
