This book title, Olympic Gold 1936 (How the Image of Jesse Owens Crushed Hitler's Evil Myth), ISBN: 9780756555283, by Michael Burgan, published by Capstone (January 1, 2017) is available in hardcover. Photo and film captured Owens’ stunning success and revealed how wrong Hitler was in his beliefs. In addition, Owens would figure prominently in the groundbreaking film Olympia by Hitler’s favorite director Leni Riefenstahl.

Instead there was American black athlete Owens on the podium being photographed by Hitler’s personal photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann. The Nazi leader had planned to use the German games as a showcase of supposed Aryan superiority.

Jesse Owens’ gold-medal winning feats at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin struck a mighty propaganda blow against Adolf Hitler.
