The Nazi Olympics
The 1936 games were to be held in Berlin, Nazi Germany. Some felt this would be a tacit support of Hitler, and debated boycotting or moving the Games. Though Olympic President Avery Brundage felt satisfied that Jewish athletes would not be discriminated against, many were barred from competing. The Games went on, with Adolf Hitler being a prominent figure throughout the games. Once war broke out, the 1940 and 1944 Games were cancelled, leaving the 1936 Games the last to be played until 1948.
