I suspect you are correct about them being a bunch of
high-rolling low-lives.

However, neither the IOC of 1936 nor the IOC of today 
is comprised of Nazis, and that's the essential point
here.

This discussion is starting to remind me of that scene
in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar where the mob mistakes
Cinna the poet for Cinna the conspirator. When the
error is pointed out to the mob (by Cinna the poet), 
they decide that they may as well kill him anyway, for
his bad poetry. 

Once the urge to hate (viz. the various reactions to
Riefenstahl) is unleashed, some people have just got
to find themselves a victim.
