In addition, the membership of some athletes in the NSDAP was not mentioned in the official exhibition on the internet. This is contrary to the inclusion criteria of " sports personalities in the voluntary sector, patrons and other persons recognized by their performance and attitude in the sport as a role model ." The " German Sports Aid Foundation " took to the criticism and changed the criteria (see Introduction). In addition, some CVs have been revised.
