It is interesting how they all say that Hitler didn't shake Jesse Owens hand. But we must remember that nor did FDR, or did FDR even recognise any achievement. Yet Jesse owens even said that Hitler 'smiled at him'.
i don't know if anyone knows, but Nazi Germans aren't the only people to create propaganda, just people always call it propaganda when it's them making it, look at Inglorious Basterds, see what I mean? I feel like everyone ignores the good side of Germany back then, everyone being united, crime being so low and kids actually being disciplined and good, unlike now, it's like everyones been brainwashed to act rebelious nowadays and not be like back then, excluding the hollocaust.
@heffy187 oh..."excluding the holocaust" haha are you being serious?! you say that the kids were being disciplined and good? that crime rates were low?! wow some people are just amazingly ignorant. Kids disciplined into killing other human beings with no pity is good? and you have the guts to say that crime rates were low when so many innocents were being murdered and harassed? is that not a crime?.....
in 1936 Germany was a great country and hitler was a great statesman, all invention was happening in Germany. why everything went wrong 1939.(If there was no wwII..Germany would have leader of the world in a good way..)
@gpp2006 if there was no war in 1939 then germany would have collapsed, they were heavily in debt that hitler ignored. the government was low on gold because they used so much resources. just like now in 2010, the coming collapse of the euroo and dollar, the collapse of economy. the only thing to save us is war. war that will start in the middle east or north korea.
@gpp2006 Yes, because the Nuremburg laws, book burnings, the arrest of members of rival political parties, and Dachau (all beginning before 1936) are examples of a fine society. Germany may have had the best scientists in the 20's and early 30's, but many were Jewish and fleeing the Nazi regime. Who's voting this up?
This is a good example of one of the more outstanding distortions which have sprung up around Nazi Germany, all as a result of a political agenda linked to Nazi Anti-Jewishness.
compared to the 56 medals won by the second placed USA team.
n what was to become an act of extreme irony, the American president of the time, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then involved in an election and concerned about the reaction in the USA's southern states, refused to see Owens at the White House: Owens was later to remark that it was Roosevelt, not Hitler, who snubbed him.
"When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany." - Jesse Owens, The Jesse Owens Story, 1970.
Another common story about the 1936 Olympic games is that Owens' victory "disproved the Nazi master race theory" - in fact the Olympic games as a whole were won by the German team with 89 medals,
During this day, Owens won his gold medals - and in line with the Olympic Committee's ruling, Hitler did not shake his hand, or anybody else's for that matter, at the games again.
It is therefore utterly false to claim that Hitler deliberately chose to ignore Owens. In fact, in the very autobiography The Jesse Owens Story, Owens himself recounted how Hitler had stood up and waved to him:
The next day, 3 August, the chairman of the International Olympic Committee, Comte Baillet-Latour, approached Hitler early in the morning and told the German leader that he had violated Olympic protocol by having winners paraded to his box.
Hitler apologized and gave a promise that he would from then on refrain from publicly congratulating any winners, German or otherwise.
The reality was in fact substantially different: what happened was that Hitler personally attended the first day of the track and field competition on 2 August 1936, and did personally congratulate the German athlete Hans Woellke, who became the first German to win a gold medal in the Olympics since 1896.
Throughout the rest of the day, Hitler continued to receive Olympic champions, German and non German, in his VIP box.
German leader Adolf Hitler refused to acknowledge his Olympic victories because Owens was black. Owens went on to play an active role in youth athletic programs and later established his own public relations firm. His autobiography, The Jesse Owens Story, was published in 1970." - "Owens, Jesse,"
He won the 100-m dash in 10.3 sec, equaling the Olympic record; set a new Olympic and world record of 20.7 sec in the 200-m dash; and won the running broad jump with a leap of 26 ft 5I in., setting a new Olympic record. He was also a member of the U.S. 400-m relay team that year, which set a new Olympic and world record of 39.8 sec. Despite Owens' outstanding athletic performance,
The story most repeated about Hitler and the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin is that Hitler refused to shake the hand of the American Black athlete Jesse Owens after the latter had won a race. This myth is extremely widespread
"Owens, Jesse (1913-80), one of the greatest track-and-field athletes of all time . . . A member of the U.S. track team in the 1936 Olympic Games, held in Berlin, Owens won four gold medals.
How can you say the Holocaust was a hoax? what a dummy, of course it was real! You don't have to be a nazi to be racist, you can be anything, which i'm guessing is STUPID. its not wrong to salute your country or your team, nobody said that. its just that they were supporting an evil cause that was wrong.
its cool that the jesse owens totally owned though.
Actually sunshine the Americans lost badly to the Germans in the Olympics. And America is a MUCH larger country. The Germans got something like 86 medals and won the Gold count hugely. America got like 50 medals and didn't do too good on the Golds. Which is why people talk about Owens lol... he won a few... but America lost big.
I'm American but I know history and liberal propaganda.
everything propaganda = nazi? :D these ppl are so desperate to malign nazis... and anyways wht is wrong whn ppl salute u whn playing games? tht shows the loyalty towards the country which u dont have... and yes one thing, holocaust is a hoax, and u ppl dont bother calling me nazi... im not white :P
THANK YOU....i dont like saying this online, but my greatgrandad was a leading nazi, and i can tell you that the 36 berlin deutschland olympics was the best ever to touch this planet. and it was extreme succesful. and by the way, it wasnt really 6 million juden, it was roughly 4-5 million. the rest were gypsies, people who commit high treason, slavs especially as well,and homosexuals and disabled people. however,my greatgrandad wasnt charged at nuremburg, and never indulge in "final solution"
actually morgo most of the dead died from typhus or other causes. During the US Civil War 100,000s died from Typhus. Also at the end of the war the Allies starved Germany of food and transport which killed off 100,000s at least, both Germans and others.
The true number is somewhere between 250,000 and 2.5 million. But we will never know because the holocaust has become such a powerful tool for propaganda. Remember history is written by the victors and the Soviets wanted to up the numbers.
