Riefenstahl's "Olympiad" was not made for the Nazis. The film was commissioned and paid for by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was, in fact, the official IOC documentary of the 1936 games. The IOC still stands behind the film today. The film is about sport. One has to be mighty imaginative to discern political content in it. Hitler appears briefly in the film, but the film is not a glorification of Naziism.
