Torch relay's Nazi origins aren't widely known - Yahoo! Sports
Now this I did not know. It was actually NAZI Germany that started the relay and running of the Olympic torch by lighting a torch from Greece and taking it to the host country! They did it as a form of propaganda for the NAZI ideas to show the world that "they are not bad" for the 1936 berlin games.
& here I though it meant other things and off course I grew up hearing abc/nbc tell me the WRONG THING!
So who knew?
