Max Schmeling: Forskelle mellem versioner

Kampen blev radiotransmitteret over hele USA og Europa, og bliver anset for at være den mest lyttede reportage nogensinde.<ref>[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6515548 The Fight of the Century] NPR special on the selection of the radio broadcast to the 2005 [[National Recording Registry]]</ref>

Det er blevet hævdet at [[Joseph Goebbels]], efter at Louis havde haft Schmeling i gulvet i første runde, beordrede transmissionen i Tyskland afbrudt.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/1399534.stm 'He can run but he can't hide' 21. juni 2001]</ref> Det tyske sportsjournalist Roy Kammerer beretter dog at kampen blev fulgt slag for slag af hele den tyske befolkning og at den fik en varig betydning for alle som hørte den.<ref>Denne beretning støttes af et brev til [[New York Times]]’ sportredaktion, med følgende tekst:<br />

 

''The Title Fight That Was Bigger Than Boxing (The Times, June 19) was of great interest to me. You write, Part of the postfight lore . . . is that the German broadcast of the bout was cut off before the fight ended. It was not.''

''As 13-year-old students at the Jewish boarding school Internat Hirsch at Coburg, Germany, and interested in heavyweight boxing, we asked to be awakened at 1 A.M. that day to hear the fight. Some of the kids missed it because it was over before they got to the radio.''
