MailOnline gained exclusive access to the long-shuttered buildings of Hitler's Olympic Village of 1936 - the so-called 'Nazi Games' intended to showcase German supremacy against the rest of the world.

Here behind closed doors can be seen the rotting remains of the '1000 year Reich' which vanished in flames after just 12.

As Britain continues to ponder what the legacy of the ultra-expensive London 2012 Olympics will be, we were granted unique access to the venue of the most infamous version in history - a place which lies decaying 600 miles from the UK capital and 78 years on from its moment in the world's spotlight.

Adolf Hitler promised his Ayran Volk world supremacy - and that supremacy was intended to be in the 19 disciplines on offer for the 4,066 competing men and women athletes at the now infamous 1936 Berlin Olympics.
