Lutz Long encouraged him and gave him tips on the long jump. Jesse won gold, Lutz won silver, and both walked off the field arm in arm, a lifelong friendship until Lutz's death during WWII.😎❤🇺🇲🥇🏅🏆🎖👍🍾
@Asier Etxeberria Irastorza Jesse disagreed with his coach when he pulled the Jewish runners (Stoller and Glickman), but he had to listen to him when ge said "You'll do as your told". Jesse reluctantly ran, but he and his teammates were friends as well as he was friends with Lutz Long, his German competitor who gave him tips on the long jump and the gold medal. Lutz Long won the silver. They were friends until Long was killed during WW II. Jesse kept in touch with his family until his own passing in 1980. Jesse was sponsored by Adidas shoes.
you probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf recently :)
Luz Long’s letter to Jessie Owens before being killed in WWII: “I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.” “My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me. It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying-tell him how things can be between men on this earth.” “If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.” “That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer.” “Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.” “And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship.” “I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.” “I think I might believe in God.” “And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.” Your brother, Luz www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2016/august/letter-to-famed-olympian-jessie-owens-shows-his-faiths-impact
It is extremely special to see a true and pure friendship between a black man and a white man at such a dark time in human history where we were segregated.
ekscholl peace from germany. jo lewis,jesse owens and even black musicians from america were stars in germany during hitlers reign. the japanese was here to study,so did web dubois and dennis lawrence,both black. black soldiers ect. by the way Hitler made it forbidden to run Human Zoos,exactly the Human Zoos whos holders were jews. germany had indians from america living in germany. there is enouph stuff out there to see that what we get told is false.
ekscholl did you know,after ww1 the women had to sell their babys to get something to eat,germany was not responsible for ww1,and it almost won the war and offered peace and status quo. who was running the weimar republic. germany didnt start the war,was winning and offered peace,got buttfucked by the allied and had to pay for everything the winners are responsible for. weimar was a disgrace and still would be anywere in the world. land has been illegaly anexed ect. no,germany was not racist to a people that didnt look any different from a german. if a jew wouldnt dress like one and mention hes a jew,you wouldnt reconise a jew. it was political,and more then that. peace from germany. neo nazis a cia zionist funded group. just like antifa. the NaSo (nazis) never been racist,and that stands for the people of germany to. the major part of was non racist,it was christian with remaining germanic cult.
***** Interesting anecdote about the 1936 Berlin Olympics: There were two sprinters on the USA team who happened to be Jewish (Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller). They were supposed to run in the 4 X 100 relay. However, Avery Brundage, head of the US Olympic Committee, dropped them from the race for fear that it would "embarrass" Hitler if Jewish athletes won gold medals. Instead, he substituted two other sprinters, one of which was Jesse Owens. This event won Owens his fourth gold medal of the games. Glickman later became a nationally known sports broadcaster.
***** His particular hatred was for the Jews. Blacks were not on his radar because there weren't many in Germany. By 1936, he had already fired all Jews in civil service and had them tossed out of their teacher's jobs. And he was just getting warmed up.
My uncle (now deceased, 1914-2009(I think 2009 or early 2010) actually knew him. He mentioned that he met Jesse Owens when he was attending Cleveland's East Technical High school and that Jesse used to jump over tables in the lunch rooms...lol
That German fella loved him respected him and adored him. He didn't deserve to be caught up in the horrors of war, I wished he would of left with Jesse to live in America because he had the biggest heart ..... So sad!!
Thank you for posting. I'm Mexican and I live in USA. I truly admire Mr. Jesse Owens, it's a great inspiration to all of us, latinos, blacks, whites, asians etc. We all should be proud of people like him.
Well this is a story worth to be remembered and written in gold letters in the book of history. Magnificent. Also check out the last letter from Luz Long to Owens before he left for the front.
Yes Jesse said that in nazi germany he could ride on the front of the bus and was treated as a human being, back in america he was treated as a second class citizen
After 1936 Olympic Games Jesse never see this friend again. Sadly according to history this guy Who helped Jesse Owens died in World War II battlefield.
Luz Long did indeed die but he was a special man in breaking barriers alongside Jesse Owens. Here is his final letter to Jesse while he was in WW2, really powerful: lettersofnote.com/2016/08/15/tell-him-about-his-father/
Today, at school, my teacher taught our class a story of Jesse Owens, namely "My Greatest Olympic Prize" which was written by Mr. Owen's only. So I searched a bit about Owens and Luz long. Found this amazing video, somewhere felt a little sad for Luz Long, cause he got disappear (killed) in the war in 40s, leaving his wife and two children behind. Well, to be honest, it's such a really good real life story, which I found glittering and somewhere encouraging. Hoping y'all a great life ahead. And yea, if someone is reading this comment from future, then I wanna say, this is a story we got in our English textbooks.
Jesse Owens will always represent the very best that one can be. His performances in Berlin are still the standard by which all are measured. His times and distances have been surpassed but not the class the man showed.
When my husband INFINITEPUGGS told me of this video I watched it and cried when the narrorator said these two became the best of freinds but the German man died 9 years after they met and when they showed the picture of the 2 of them at the end of the video I lost it. Such a nice tribute.
The video in RU-vid:.." Hitler racist?" Jesse Owens 1936((.the black athlete who won the athletics Olympics in the year 1936...:) " It's hard to imagine how happy I feel. From a moment to another it seemed to me that while I ran, I had grown wings. All the Stadium was so festive, it was contagious, so I ran with greater joy and to me it seemed I had lost all weight of body. The sportive enthusiasm of those German spectators made a deep impression on me, particularly the gentlemanly attitude of those spectators. You may tell everybody we are thankful for the German hospitality." "When I passed the Chancellor (Hitler), he stood up, waved me and I returned the greeting in the same way, I think the journalists showed their bad taste by criticizing the man of the moment in Germany." 𝒥𝑒𝓈𝓈𝑒 𝒪𝓌𝑒𝓃𝓈 When Owens, He came back to the US as a great champion, where he was not received with a band, trumpets or tributes, nor did he receive any handshakes from President Roosevelt.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GG9U1A-3rSI.html También está en español como: "Hitler racista?

Monday Twenty-Fourth of April Two Thousand And Twenty-Three. 20.35pm. Dear Sir/Madam. Good-evening. How are you? I hope you are well. Mr Jesse Owens, was an amazing human being. 🙂 I, am so proud of his achievements. A real inspiration. Thank you Mr Owen. Francesca Al Kray. 🐂
Owens said crowds were cheering him in Berlin, in the trams, everywhere. In the US on the contrary, black people were still segregated in buses... When Owens went to a celebration organized for him at Waldorf Hotel in NY, he had to take a separated service elevator to not mix with the Jewish-White crowd. I admire this guy for his honesty in telling all this.
He was the dominant figure, he completely outclassed all the competitors in the 100m, 200m, long jump, and 4x100m relay. He won the most gold medals compared to everyone in the 1936 Olympics, in a time where Nazi's were in control and they deemed themselves 'superior', even using the Olympics as a way to showcase their 'supeiority' which failed.
@@Obstone0 Keep coping. Germany won 38 gold medals! USA only 24 Donno who you were thinking you were trying to fool. Its obvious they nailed their superiority claims.
@@dnaseb9214 If they nailed their superiorty claims they wouldn't let an 'inferior' race win the gold medal in 4 times in their olympics. There was only 1-2 black competitors in comparison to the 4-5 white competitors in most competitions held in the 1936 olympics and the black competitor/s (Jesse Owens and John Woodruff) still managed to beat them. The only thing nazi germany nailed is that they were better than their american white counterparts, they didn't nail their aryan superiority claim because they couldn't beat Jesse Owens, John Woodruff and other black competitors who were both supposedly inferior to Hitlers so called 'Aryans'.
Can you imagine the courage it took for him to befriend him right in front of Hitler? Another RU-vid video talks about their friendship even more. Decent people are everywhere.
I agree, it doesn't make you un-American to question what's wrong with this country. Yes, I would rather live here than anywhere else, but it's not the greatest country in the world. The citizens who think America is perfect are ironically the ones that are hurting the country the most. For example, If you have a child that's misbehaving do you not correct that child's bad behavior or do you turn the other cheek. I love my country and it does have the potential to be a great country one day.
That's what's great about America, you're allowed to question it's authority. The founding fathers made it like that. You are allowed to comment about with no backlash from the government that you're talking about. It's not perfect, but it's the best thing we've got.
Almost certainly the greatest athlete of all time. A true natural phenomenon that made a separation between him and his opponents and he would have won also the fifth gold medal in Berlin in the relay race 4 to 200 if they had not hindered him for envy. With his exceptional and unreachable talent he would have almost certainly won successive Olympics in the same specialties, but there was the World War II. Imagine if he ran today with all the innovations, new materials and new current knowledge. And without the several hard obstacles that he had to suffer. I don't think that Bolt would have been able to defeat him at all not even in a single specialty.
1936 was also the year when Max Schmeling knocked out Joe Louis to become the heavyweight champion of the world. I leave it those who believe that Jesse Owens single-handedly 'destroyed the myth of the superiority of the Aryan race' to figure out which one was the more important sports event. The truth is, Owens appreciated Hitler and Germany more than his own president and country. Maybe because he could have married a white woman in Nazi-Germany had he wished to do so, not in the US though. Maybe because in Germany he got the respect he deserved for his accomplishments when he achieved them, not later on when history was raped.
Michael Vierling You're full of it. The Nazi era German parliament outlawed mixed marriages in German controlled African colonies. Google "Blacks During The Holocaust"
+Michael Vierling He did not need no nasty white woman. Germany is still white. White people are the same no matter the country. And that guy beat an old Joe Louis. Nobody even remembers his name.
+mspinkytee you have no idea what your talking about, do some research before commenting.... He did not beat an "old" Joe Louis. Joe Louis was in his early 20s and in his prime, he was still effectively fighting into the early 1950s which was 15 years later. Max schmelling was also the only person to ever knock Joe Louis out until rocky Marciano did in Joe's last fight. So give the damn kraft some credit, where credit is due
The paper I choose to do in the 5th grade was about Jesse Owens. He had to overcome a leg tumor that his own mother had to operate on. What a remarkable man. I loved he really rubbed Hitlers nose in it.!!
I've been watching closely Owens' arms ans legs movements, there's no over-elaboration but very economical movements only, with back and neck straight up and down. His facial expression showed no sign of strain, very calm with deep concentration. Compared to his fellow competitors who seemed to be thrashing about and gritting their teeth as if in great pain, Jesse really was a complete athlete par excellence !!
On his return to the US after the Olympics, Owens was not invited to the White House. He later said, "Hitler didn't snub me - it was FDR who snubbed me. The President didn't even send me a telegram."
This is the best Olympics in history. From here Berlin invented a revolutionary style of Olympics that had never been done before, the celebration, the participants, the athletes and the spectators all knew exactly what to do to present a great image of the Germany sport. Carrying the torch, arranging the masses, the forms that the masses used to perform during the parades, is a truly artistic masterpiece. After this Olympics, the rest of the countries began to imitate the Berlin celebrations, to what we have reached today.
Owens en Berlin no fue tratado con discriminación, pero cuando regreso a los Estados Unidos allí lo seguían tratando como ciudadano de segunda clase, esto es la hipocresía de la democracia en Norteamerica.
That was Jesse Owens with natural talent back in the day, today with spikes a track and actual training he would give Usain Bolt a HUGE run for his money
And they where. One detail is Wernher Vons Baun, what he did for the US was fantastic, then he dies because the US government didn't have money for the project, also, that continued in the 60's and 70'S with the Space Fashion of Pier Cardin, space pop art, Hollywood movies, believing that the flying saucers where extraterrestrials and giving to the world the delusions of other galaxies would come to visit earth, like I said, the engineer Von Brawn couldn't complete the project of the spacial station for lack of founding of the US government. Can you imagine, in Germany the project was more ambitious, time travel, and others marvelous inventions and discoveries, very spiritual, like the Vril and Tule Society.
In the movie " The Jesse Owens Story " they showed Hitlers top athlete helping Jesse as much as he could and was the first to congratulate and compliment Jesse as much as possible. I'm glad that wasn't a Hollywood made up story . cool
I now deeply love all the Germans They are all not at all ugly demons This single German has disproved My heart, he has greatly moved He has forced to make me weep Impression made by him is deep He has though acted very unwisely His good heart is exhibited nicely Extraordinary courage is by him had He lost the game and life, how sad? One Gandhi got for India full freedom A single German showed his wisdom One hundred percent, he will be in Heaven He and Owens will be in chariot driven Angels will take the best care of him Whole Divinity will deeply love them A German has such an Himalayan guts He has cured a sad American's regrets An impossible step taken with courage Being morally ready to face Hitler's rage He made Jessie win after doing correction Will anyone give to a rival such a protection? Every Olympic stadium must have his statute Let the Olympic committee pass such a statue Under a cut-throat atmosphere, he did this act After knowing fully such an action's impact This requires bravery and a loving attitude On that day itself, life was by him well-viewed His photo must be hung in schools and colleges This will eradicate all kinds of ragging damages That tall slim man had a heart with nobility He pinpointed a rival's ability by giving clarity In this dog-eats-dog World with selfishness A citizen of a dictator boldly showed kindness From now onward, I will for Germany truly pray In this World-soccer, they must win, I to God say So far, I disliked Germany winning any game But, my mind, this singly young man did tame I will support only Germany in every field of activity I will pray for them deeply with the greatest anxiety Today, I take this oath to love Germany forever A single young Germany has cured my fever Without reading I am just fast clicking My mental wounds, this incident is licking. mvvenkataraman
My Father and Uncle were in the stands, they were just outta high school and I have a long letter my Father wrote FROM THE STANDS! AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT! Of course, NPR put out their "research" denying that Owens even knew Lutz before this race!
Hearing jesse's thoughts for his friend who on another day might've sealed his fate shaking Jesse's hand, congratulating his win nearly brought this 50yr old blond mullet'd Londoner's eye beautiful❤❤❤
The truth is that NS Germany had no problem at all with Jesse Owens, as he himself recognized. Not only was he considered a star in all Berlin, but also you can see in the Leni Riefenstahl official propaganda film that a large part is dedicated to his feats and glory. It seems only fair but does not fit at all what they say about NS.
This young man shatters my heart He brings tears to my sad eyes He has proved German's' supremacy He has canceled my hatred for Germany He has sacrificed his gold happily He could have remained just quiet He needn't have advised Jesse Then Jesse would have fouled We are afraid of our bosses in office We fear to say our emotions openly They love to treat us all as slaves Think of Hitler- the dreaded dictator This young soul is gripped by love He bothered not about being marked He opened his heart frankly to help He had entered history of course Hitler hated greatness of blacks He expressed it openly to all During such a crucial occasion This youngster did a miracle This one soul is sufficient For me to pray for holy Germany He has represented the whole Nation As Germans shout 'Jesse, Jesse' It is a great Nation indeed It suffered due to Hitler He had betrayed his citizens Here was a true German helping ! For a petty office promotion People use influence to gain Forgetting Olympic gold One German created History Such noble souls bring rain And prosperity for all really Germany was tilled by his blood And so now peace prevails O- God- Forgive us all please Due to one dictator so bad We have started hating Germany But, the truth is totally different He would have reached Heaven Without having any rebirth at all God would keep him in His heart Forever he will be happy there My heart weeps as I missed him I couldn't touch his young hand And wish him all the best kindly My not falling at his legs is a sin Because of noble souls like him The whole earth is finely sustained If I go to Paradise after my death I would search for him there surely I thank 'You Tube' for showing him fully He is God in disguise to help Jesse And also each human being to be merciful By fully sacrificing hatred and animosity Thank you ' You Tube' your service Is remarkable and unforgettable I am indebted to you for you dear May God keep you for us all eternally. mvvenkataraman
You were lied to about the Germans and Hitler. You've learned from this film that you were lied to and have love and admiration for the German people. How is it that you don't realize that you were also lied to about Hitler??
sei stato un mito della storia Americana sei stato l'unico uomo di colore ad aver sconfitto i nazisti e la barriera del razzismo e hai persino conquistato l'amicizia di luz long l'unico nazista americano riposa in pace jessie sempre nel mio cuore fino alla mia morte
Woah, sudden burst of maturity. Kinda alarming that when my native language is english I still manage not to succumb to short slogans like you. I'm sure attacking people based on their birthplace (but you chose to born in America, right?) IS the calid critisism. Oh my, you really just run on short slogans and irrationality, don't you?
And the Declaration is not a manmade document? It's all still just nationalism, calling your birthplace the best just because you have been born there. You do know that for indiands you are also an immigrant? You have been for 400 years while they lived there for thousand of years.
MAX DE WOW, you are really stupid bud! Considering Nazi Germany to be less racist than the current US is absurd. They LITERALLY gasses and tortured millions of Jews and gays just for being Jewish or gay. Know your history kid and don't make ridiculous claims like that.
This is not true Hitler was told by the Olimpic commity just before Owens won That as a political leader He was not allowed to fratrinize with the Olimpiades and if you note watching the whole film He no longer shoke hands with any of them German Or otherwise. Hitler even said the the blacks where faster in there make up. yet if you look at who won most of the medels for strength they where white, and the German women won more medels than any other nation.
thats not the hole truth. He didnt want to shake a black mans hand in front of the hole world. But he desided earlier that he dont shake hands with the athlets, because he needed to shake all or no, to save the neutrality.( He only wanted to congretulate the germans)
Muito idiota o cara que passa as respostas. É um desafio, tem que pensar, correr atrás, pesquisar, usar os conhecimentos!! Sem falar que é uma competição, você está permitindo que outro possa responder e até passar você se ele for mais rápido nos outros desafios.
Sweet Jesus, he absolutely destroyed everyone with his speed. A legend , it is a big see you later to everyone who discriminates against people. People that base views on appearance, gender, religion blah blah blah, is not a junglist or a follower of God and being good to everyone. God bless and Bob marley be upon you...or like Bill and ted....be excellent to one another xx
Besides the ridiculous argument why blacks excel at sports... Anyone notice how much better Jesse Owens form was. I mean that must have had a little to do with it. No useless movement....
Besides, Jesse Owens was born and raised in the United States. The United States was already by that point the richest country in the world. Hardly primitive.
Fun fact : hitler was in one of his races and said that germans is more superior then every human and jesse owens proved him wrong and when jesse owens won some people say hitler gave him a handshake
