"Despite the fact that the German Chess Federation had been expelled by FIDE a few years earlier due to the inclusion of racial laws in its statutes, an unofficial Olympiad was organised in Munich; as a result, many countries decided to skip the event. In contrast to the International Olympic Committee’s recognition of the Olympic Games in Berlin, FIDE opted not to acknowledge this particular event."
