	Carl Diem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carl Diem (born June 24, 1882 in Würzburg - died December 17, 1962 in Cologne) was the originator of the modern tradition of the Olympic torch relay.
		The relay was invented by Carl Diem, a German who had been planning the 1916 Olympic Games at Berlin when they were canceled because of World War I. Twenty years later, Diem returned, organizing the 1936 Summer Olympics under Hitler.
		When the torches were lit at Berlin, ostensibly to signify unity among nations, they carried the logo of the manufacturer, Krupp, the huge steel and munitions conglomerate that armed Germany for two world wars.

		It remains unclear whether this situation is due to the fact that in this respect only Carl Diem's achievements are of importance to the world or whether the IOA was thinking of its own reputation.
		The articles www.ioa.leeds.ac.uk and www.ioa.org.gr offer some details, but Carl Diem is either just named or praised on these pages.
		These aims seem to be reasonable and positive, which raises the question if Carl Diem perhaps misused the sport and its "aims" to tempt youths into actions in the interest of the Nazis.
