Da irrepetibilidade histórica
For two weeks in August 1936, Adolf Hitler's Nazi dictatorship camouflaged its racist, militaristic character while hosting the Summer Olympics.
Soft-pedalling its anti-Semitic agenda and plans for territorial expansion, the regime exploited the Games to bedazzle many foreign spectators and journalists with an image of a peaceful, tolerant Germany.
Having rejected a proposed boycott of the 1936 Olympics, the western democracies missed the opportunity to take a stand that - some observers at the time claimed - might have given Hitler pause and bolstered international resistance to Nazi tyranny.
