1938 Intense head shot of the great German champion Max Schmeling. Max is best known for his knockout of Joe Louis, but he was also a very important athlete who went out on a limb and defied Nazi Germany ideals despite fighting for them, even hiding Jews in his apartment for shelter at one time! Dated 1938 on the back and stamped by International News, this is one of his greatest images ever taken!
