Well, given that Hitler was depending upon (read: using) the '36 Olympics to
be a huge opportunity to promote his agenda (read: a propaganda
opportunity), it makes perfect sense. This was a chance to promulgate
ideology with the whole world watching, and to push it far and wide via the
filmed version.

Outspoken and snottily derisive as ever,  

Kit ;-)

I shall dig up the citation regarding IOC
commissioning of the film in the next day, as this may
be important to some LUGgers. 

I would not be surprised to learn that she relied a
great deal on the cooperation and support of the local
government authorities (who were Nazis in Berlin in
1936) -- that's the way Olympics coverage works, as
Ted suggested so eloquently the other day.
