a Video and Discussion of;
 
"The Fight of the Century" 
Joe Louis vs Max Schmelling
 
It was more than a boxing match. It was democracy and race vs.Nazism and racial purity.
 
Hitler had risen to power and preached racial superiority. He portrayed Schmelling as an example of that superiority.
Schmelling had won the first fight against Louis in 1936.  The 1938 rematch lasted only 124 seconds, but is remembered as one of the outstanding events of the 20th century.  See the story behind the story as the world powers moved closer to WW2.
