The German Olympic Decoration ((ドイツ語:Deutsche Olympia-Ehrenzeichen'' or ''Deutsches Olympiaehrenzeichen))〔Angolia, John (1989). ''For Führer and Fatherland: Political & Civil Awards of the Third Reich'', R. James Bender Publishing, pp. 17, 19. ISBN 0-912138-16-5〕 was a civil decoration of Nazi Germany awarded to administrators of the IV Olympic Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Games of the XI Olympiad in Berlin 1936. The award was not intended for actual participants in the Olympic Games, but rather in recognition of those who had orchestrated the "behind the scenes" preparations and work for the events.〔Lumsden, Robin (2001). ''Medals and Decorations of Hitler's Germany'', The Crowood Press Ltd. ISBN 1-84037-178-1〕 Several members of the SS, including, Reinhard Heydrich, Karl Wolff and Heinrich Himmler were awarded the Olympic Games decoration for providing security during the event.〔SS service record collection, United States National Archives; College Park, Maryland〕 Hermann Fegelein was awarded the decoration for overseeing the preparation of the courses and facilities for the equestrian events.〔Miller, Michael (2006). ''Leaders of the SS and German Police, Vol. 1'', R. James Bender Publishing, p. 306. ISBN 93-297-0037-3〕 The decoration was presented to Leni Riefenstahl for her work in filming the various sports events. It was also presented, 2nd Class, to Hiroshi Ōshima, the Japanese Ambassador to Nazi Germany.〔Angolia, John (1989). ''For Führer and Fatherland: Political & Civil Awards of the Third Reich'', p. 21.〕 The German Olympic Decoration was awarded in three classes: * 1st Class * 2nd Class * German Olympic Memory Medal Of the three classes, the First Class was presented as a neck order. A total of 767 were presented. The second class was open to persons who played a significant, but lesser role as to the work which went into the presentation of the games. A total of 3,364 were awarded. The German Olympic Memory Medal ((ドイツ語:Deutsche Olympia-Erinnerungsmedaille)) was established to recognize service in connection with the preparation work and execution of the game events. The medal was not restricted to German nationals. All classes could be worn miniaturized on a ribbon bar.〔Angolia, John (1989). ''For Führer and Fatherland: Political & Civil Awards of the Third Reich'', pp. 17-22.〕 Modern German law prohibits the wearing of a swastika, so in 1957 the German federal government authorised replacement decorations in place of the swastika version; which still exists and can be worn as a civil decoration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Section 86a Use of Symbols of Unconstitutional Organizations )〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German Olympic Decoration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
