How It All Goes Down
Plundering Germany
- Louie boards the luxury steamer Manhattan to Germany, which is the closest thing you could get to a Disney cruise in 1936.
- On the ship, Louie eats so much that he gains twelve pounds.
- At the Olympic Village, Louie rooms with famous athlete Jesse Owens and gets to mingle with other athletes and Hitler Youth.
- Yes, we said Hitler Youth.
- Hitler is really excited about Germans rocking the Olympics, and German nationalism is at all-time high.
- They're not the only competitive ones though, and Louie has to deal with people dashing in front of him and throwing elbows during his runs.
- Despite the fisticuffs (which cause him to come in seventh place), he breaks a final-lap record in the Olympic 5,000, running his last lap in 56 seconds, a feat which entitles Louie to a brief visit with Der Fuhrer.
- After the Olympics are over, the Olympic Village is transformed into military barracks (and its designer, Wolfgang Fürstner, hangs himself).
- Back home, Louie sets his sights on the 1940 Games in Tokyo.
