Title: Adolf Hitler 'did shake hands with Jesse Owens'

A veteran German sports reporter has claimed that Adolf Hitler did in fact shake hands with black US athlete Jesse Owens at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

At the time, it was reported that Hitler had stormed out of the stadium furious that Owens, who had just run his way to the first of four gold medals in the 100 metres, had beaten his Aryan sportsmen.

However, Siegfried Mischner, 83, said that Owens carried around a photograph in his wallet of Hitler shaking his hand before he left the stadium.

Owens, who felt the newspapers of the day reported "unfairly" on Hitler's attitude towards him, tried to get Mischner and his journalist colleagues to change the accepted version of history in the 1960s, the Daily Mail reports.

Mischner, who was a reporter at the time, claimed Owens showed him the photograph and told him: "That was one of my most beautiful moments."

He said: "It was taken behind the honour stand and so not captured by the world's press. But I saw it, I saw him shaking Hitler's hand.

"The predominating opinion in post-war Germany was that Hitler had ignored Owens.

"We therefore decided not to report on the photo. The consensus was that Hitler had to continue to be painted in a bad light in relation to Owens."

Mischner's claims cannot be verified because all other witnesses, including Owens, are dead.

Owens, who died in 1980 aged 66, was the son of sharecroppers and won four track and field gold medals - the 100m, the long jump, the 200m and the relay race - at Berlin.

He insisted that he had not been snubbed by Hitler but made no reference to meeting him and shaking hands.

"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 criticising the man of the hour in Germany," he said.

How did they develop the photo so quickly in 1936?

I'd like more clarity in the timeline of the '36 Olympics.

OTOH, I don't care whose hand Hitler shook.

After reading that sentence a second time, I understood it.

Well, they didn't have the old Polaroid Instamatic. Somehow, it just sounds funny to me. Who knows, maybe Hitler had his picture taken with Owens and then rushed the film to some Nazi photo lab in the stadium so he could give the photo to Owens. It all sounds funny to me though and I'd like to hear more about it before I accept this account.

It was taken before Hitler departed the stadium, contrary to popular/propagandized reports that Hitler snubbed him completely.

Owens was given a copy of the photograph obviously before he returned to the States, not necessarily in minutes.

I've heard many non Jews say it, and I've known many Jews who didn't say it. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion, culture, or history. So how is that a "jewish" lie?

I don't think he was saying he walked around inside the stadium with the picture in his wallet before he left Germany ... duh ... the pic was taken before he left the stadium and probably developed back home in the U.S.A.

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.
