Well, when you fill out your application, just make sure that you proof read it better than you did for the title of your post. That will help some.

Is it true that Jesse Owens shook hands with Hitler, he was treated like a king in Nazi Germany?

Donny Garg

When Owen came to germany, he stayed in the same hotels as german sportsmen. He befriended Luz Long who later gave him some technical hints to break the world record.

Adidas founder Adi Dassler, also a nazi, gave him a pair of high tech custom shoes that helped him.

Hitler did shake his hand and warmly congratulated him.

Jesse Owens: âHitler didn't snub meâit was [FDR] who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram.â - quoted in Triumph, a book about the 1936 Olympics by Jeremy Schaap

Jesse was forced to take the freight elevator of waldorf astoria back home in NYC to go to the celebrations party for his success in Berlin.

:(((
Jesse burst into tears when he heard his nazi friend Luz fell for his fatherland, merely 7 years thereafter.

RIP Luz.

LOL....Germany has been one of the most racist countries ever. I love Germany, but I harbor no illusions about this. Try educating yourself about your imagined love affair between NSD and Blacks.

Lovely depictions here:

For a description of how they were treated during the NSD years, you can read up at the site linked to below.

"The racist nature of Adolf Hitler's regime was disguised briefly during the Olympic Games in Berlin in August 1936, when Hitler allowed 18 African American athletes to compete for the U.S. team. However, permission to compete was granted by the International Olympic Committee and not by the host country."
