On the day of August 15, 11 years before the country got independence, on the basis of the charisma of Indian hockey in the representation of Dhyanchand, it was recorded in history, when it happened in the presence of Hitler. In the Berlin Olympic final, Hindustan beat Germany and won the yellow title in its name. Ashok Kumar, son of Dhyanchand and one of the heroes of India's title success in the 1975 World Cup, said, "He never forgot that day and whenever there was talk of hockey, he used to mention that annual Olympics."

The same sea route traveled a long way and the Indian hockey team reached Berlin two weeks before the first match against Hungary, but failed 4–1 from the German XI in the exercise match. The two-time champions Hindustan, while keeping pace with the tournament, defeated France 10–0 in the semi-finals and Dhyanchand scored four goals.

In the annual German defenders surrounded Dhyanchand and broke his tooth after hitting German goalkeeper Tito Warnholz. At the break, he and his brother Roop Singh took off shoes and played barefoot for fear of slipping into the ground. Dhyanchand scored 3 and Roop Singh scored two goals to give India 8-1 success. Ashok said, 'On the night before that match, he gathered the players in the room and swore the tricolor that we have to win this last match in every situation. At that time there was a tricolor with a charkha, because India was playing under the British flag. The victory of that time was very spectacular.
