Gretel Bergmann (1914 - ) had won the German Olympic trials in 1936 in
the high-jump, and was expected to be Germany's representative at the
Games. However two weeks before the Games she was was dropped from the
team because of 'mediocre performance'. The real reason, of course,
was that she was Jewish. She was replaced by Dora Ratjen of the Hitler
Youth, an odd woman with a deep voice and who never showered with the
other women. The other German representative was Elfriede Kaun.
