The commemorative medal was authorised by the Führer and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler on July 31, 1936. It was supplementary to the Olympic medals that had already been authorised on February 4, 1936. The commemorative medal was awarded for services during the preparation and implementation of the 1936 Olympic Games. It was intended to honour merits that did not meet the very strict requirements for the award of the Olympic medals 1st and 2nd class, but still went significantly beyond normal demands. Regardless of whether the work was voluntary, official or contractual. The applications were made by the Reich Minister of the Interior, Dr. William Frick.
In addition to the award (in a case), the recipient received a certificate of ownership with Adolf Hitler facsimile signature. The German Olympic Commemorative Medal was awarded 54,915 times. The medals are both matt and shiny silver plated. The medals were minted from different materials and silver-plated but the most common is iron. It is a round medal, diameter 36 mm witg a simple eyelet and band ring soldered on at the top.
