Despite the deaf competitors from Poland being turned away at the borders at the beginning of Nazi rule, the 3rd International Silent Games experienced record-breaking numbers of participating nations and athletes.
The Games took place a year earlier in 1931 instead of 1932 in order to avoid scheduling conflict with the International Olympic Games.
