The following statement is: a) Completely in the wrong location. b) Doesn't seem to be accurate considering this article states that the decision to pick Berlin was made before the fascist government had risen to power.
"...Academics cannot agree whether the IOC during this period was a willing collaborator or an organisation that favoured the aesthetics of fascist governments.[7] Although the IOC was insulated from the reality of Nazism, elements of Hitler's regime subscribed to the sporting ideologies of the IOC.[7]"
Farther to what Wintonian said earlier, the reference 7 is a book. The paragraph in question is all insinuation, and doesn't seem to represent broad debate amongst academics.
This statement should be moved or possibly removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.29.4.43 (talk) 17:48, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Was there an attempted 2nd Nazi German Games which was cancelled by the outbreak of WWII?

Not only is there far too much about Hitler in this page that should be about the Games of the XI Olympiad, but people also seem to have read his mind. Could we change the focus to the games, please? If we need a section on politics, let it be just that: A section. There's no need to poison the rest of the page with that. Mysha (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
In the infobox, we've got the 1948 games as successors to these games. Yet in the navbox, we've got the 1940 cancelled games as successors to these games. GoodDay (talk) 08:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

The medal count chart does not display actual numbers on my iPhone - just blank boxes. Numbers are there but displaying as white against a white backdrop @ 2601:204:C700:8C:E54F:5794:9ADC:E6FE (talk) 20:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
I can't seem to find any credible source for the quote from Hans von Tschammer und Osten, in which he "believed that sports was a "way to weed out the weak, Jewish, and other undesirables". Is this from a specific source other than the one listed? 50.223.1.158 (talk) 15:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
The infobox lists that the games were "opened by" "Chancellor Adolf Hitler" in 1936. There are a few problems with this.
I understand if the IOC doesn't love admitting they gave the world's biggest platform at the time to Hitler, especially with the connotations of "Hitler and Fuhrer", but I'd argue going with what the IOC says is mistaken. As pointed out, the IOC is not doing their due diligence with respect to history or even with respect to their own guidelines. This, to me, effectively establishes this specific citation as not only erroneous, but explicitly biased and potentially even as a first-person source. Jwabeck (talk) 06:13, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Heads of State or their representatives who have declared the Games of the Olympiad open"? The first mention of Hitler in the text is "Reichsführer Adolf Hitler", so maybe that would be better - the infobox is meant to summarise the text? Alternatively, he could just appear as "Adolf Hitler" is the infobox, without any title? Martinevans123 (talk) 07:22, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
