THE IVth OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES


  In Germany, under the Nazi regime, the Winter Games suddenly took on a dimension hitherto unknown thanks to propaganda. In addition, alpine skiing, thanks to the efforts of stubborn leaders, made its entrance, which was still timid. But ski instructors, judged professional by the I.O.C., were excluded.
