The spectacular theft of the Olympic flame at the Grenoble Winter Games in 1968 – attested by this documentation – was meant to draw the attention of the press to the 1st Hamburger Filmschau. A three-strong team drove spontaneously into the Alps, lit a cigarette from the Olympic flame, used the cigarette to light an oil lamp, and brought the flame to Hamburg, where it burnt in the foyer of the Kammerlichtspiele during the festival.
