Question

American Jesse Owens' stunning victory in the 100-meter race angered Adolph Hitler. How did Owens' victory shatter the Nazi propaganda about Aryan supremacy?

Answer 1

Answer

"Although it was largely reported that Hitler "snubbed" Owens for upstaging his prized Aryan athletes, in reality, he responded to a request to treat the winners equally and declined to publicly congratulate anyone after the first day of competition. Other reports indicated that the Fuhrer did salute Owens from afar, possibly influenced by the adoring reception the athlete received from fans."
