Re: A different look at Max Schmeling

I just think the writer fundamendally fails to comprehend the reason for Schmeling's popularity in Germany, which leads him to write a bunch of garbage countering things that no one has ever claimed for Schmeling. It has nothing to do with him being decalred an anti-Nazi hero. It has to do with his journey, and his ability to quietly redeem himself and regain his dignity.

You nailed it. It's all there in Schmeling's autobiography and unless someone discovers a new piece of evidence, that is where the buck stops.

By the way, we have testimony of Louis' family that someone used to send money anonymously and that Joe always talked very highly of Max.
