Wikipedia should not be used as a tool to whitewash the past of Nazi turncoats. It contradicts the neutrality policy of the encyclopedia.
It is highly unlikely (and it even defies logic) that Karl Ritter von Halt would have held such high profile posts in Nazi Germany for so long, be4ing even promoted to highest leader of the Nazi Sports Foverning Body (NSRL) in 1944 if he indeed had declared openly his opposition to the ways of the regime as early as 1936.

The following unsourced statement has been removed:
Prior to the Berlin Olympics in 1936, von Halt became concerned with anti-Semitic clashes between Aryans and Jews in Bavaria, where the Winter Games were to be contested. von Halt detailed his shock and dismay in a letter, with a 'against the grain' attitude, attacking the anti-Olympic display of blatant antisemitism and the effect it might have on the Summer Games. von Halt's concerned are expressed in a letter sent between himself and Hans Ritter von Lex, the official in the Interior Ministry responsible for the 1936 Winter Games: "My sole concern is with the Olympic idea and the Olympic Games, to which I've devoted all my free time on a voluntary basis for many years."[citation needed]
