Der Furehr had a bunch of egg on his face when a non-Aryan won big at his showcase sporting event. It wasn’t supposed to happen that way. Mr. Owens gave him a big (figurative) middle finger without saying a word. Magnificent performance!

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for remining us that on August 3, 1936, American sprinter Jesse Owens won the 100m (10.3 seconds) in front of Adolf Hitler in a famous race at the Olympics.
