Deutschlandhalle
Deutschlandhalle was an arena located in the Westend neighbourhood of Berlin, Germany. It was inaugurated on 29 November 1935 by Adolf Hitler. The building was granted landmark status in 1995, but was demolished on 3 December 2011. History Built primarily for the 1936 Summer Olympics, the Deutschlandhalle could hold 8,764 people. The Olympic boxing, weightlifting and wrestling competitions took place here. On 19 February 1938 test pilot Hanna Reitsch demonstrated the first indoor flight in the arena with a Focke-Wulf Fw 61 helicopter. Heavily damaged by air raids in 1943, the Deutschlandhalle was rebuilt after World War II and from 1957 served as a multi purpose arena and sports venue, in the last years primarily for ice hockey, but also for indoor soccer and again for boxing. After the 1990 German reunification, the Deutschlandhalle lost its position as Berlin's primary arena, replaced by the newly erected Velodrom, Max-Schmeling-Halle and Mercedes-Benz Arena. In 1998 it ...

Morrell was a four-time British freestyle wrestling champion, having won the featherweight (63 kg/139 lb) division from 1933 to 1936. He also won national championships in Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling. Morrell became a pro wrestler sometime after the 1936 Olympics. He grew to dislike the disorganised and scandalous state of pro wrestling at the time and became a promoter and trainer in the early 1940s. In October 1943, Morrell arranged a meeting that led to the formation of the British Wrestling Federation (BWF). Although described as a trade union, it intended to promote its own tournaments and champions.
