I mean. They invented the Olympic torch relay and overall showed their competence in Propaganda. You can sell literally anything if you do it right.

Yeah, the 1936 was a huge and famously pretty successful propaganda event for Nazi Germany. It might have served as an inspiration for certain other authoritarian regimes.

except for the fact that jesse owens embarassed them so much by being phenominal.
Nothing short of legendary.
If you do it right.. Ain't no way we can sell any mattresses in France now
