Bob Foster ~ "I Wanted Cassius Clay In 1968"

'1933'

Expansion of the 'Autobahn'

By 1936, Mr. Hitler put nearly 130,000 people to work on the Super Highway,
with another 250,000 providing service for the road crews.

These were excellent paying jobs, that moved many Germans from 'very poor'
to the level of upper middle-class.

I think it was Carl Williams? who said something similar about Tyson.
Mike stated they sparred. I was a kid, he was a grown man.
It seemed that Ali's fight with Foster turned out the same as Tyson when he fought williams both as men.
imo
..
A coward doesn't stand up to a government that allowed Jim crow laws to exist.
A nation that prosecuted no white men who proudly took photos with their lynched victims. Need photo proof?

A nation whose preachers..didnt stand up when black girls were bombed in a church in Alabama, and not by a jihadist movement or by muslims. these were christians
this is why Ali is known the world over from the Philippines to Africa.

Bar the conquistadors who forced christianity... and you will know much of the world are muslims.
hate it if need, but where does Ali go.... and isn't loved?
called a hero for standing up to a nation that passed an act excluding Asian immigration.
half century later was forced to allow blacks to vote A year after...clay won the title.

sorry to go historical on a boxing thread, but you invited me to respond... cause u took it there.
slimtrae KO round one.

"As late as 1930 the National Socialist (Nazi) party helped vote down a HaFraBa autobahn proposal presented to the Reichstag. Ironically, it was the work of HaFraBa that allowed Hitler and his chief civil engineer Dr. Fritz Todt to proceed with autobahn construction in 1933, the year Hitler and the Nazis came to power. Hitler quickly realized the propaganda value he could get from promoting the autobahn. He and the Nazis found it easy to take credit for the earlier work of others and make it seem that it was all the Führer's own idea."
Game , set and match! Now stop being a sap for the sake of it my little pedigree chum.

Did you fight in Vietnam? Why the gripe with Ali?

Adolph Hitler

Did bring Germany out of the Great Depression.

The unemployment-rate in Germany in 1932 was over 30% with nearly 6,000,000
Germans out of work.

In 1933, Mr. Hitler promised to end unemployment.

By 1937, Mr. Hitler added 5,000,000 Germans to the work force, with the
unemployment-rate at less than 7% with 1,000,000 unemployed.

A remarkable feat for a politician.

tut,tut,tut, Billy,Billy,Billy!:rolleyes:

"Hitler was neither smart nor very knowledgable. He was totally ignorant of economics.
The miracle of economic recovery was staged by massive deficit spending that was illegal but covered up by officials in the central bank.
In principle he spent more than he could ever hope to get back, sacked Jews and Socialists and did not allow them to be declared unemployed, forced people to work on the autobahn for less than minimum wage, so they could not be declared unemployed, etc etc.
One big scam.
In addition, the economies worldwide were recovering, he just took credit for what would have happened anyway."

or try:
"He didn't, he created some stability but these actions were based on falsehoods because all he did was make it look good whilst in reality
he made it far worse. To create more work he had to sack others first, for instance the women were removed from the work force on a grand scale but the trouble with this was once again false economics.
For instance, a young couple ready to marry were offered money to furnish their unit or rented apartment which admittedly was a good scheme when started for them but economically it did little to help the treasury except make it a lot worse off. The arrangement was such that if the bride to be was full time employed she would resign and not return to work for at least two years.
The idea being that a man would take over her job which today has some merit but in those days very few men had experience in sewing, knitting, cleaning peoples homes, cooking, gardening, nursing and related offshoot tasks that most women were good at.
You have to come up with statistical figures to make it look good and the exodus of women from the workforce related to all of the above plus more created work for the men, people were very impressed to see the unemployment rate drop but in reality nothing changed until such time when a massive amount of men were required for the arms build up but that is another story.
Hitler also insisted on a autonomous State in regard to import/Export because Germany could go it alone and be independent. With a population of approximately 58 plus million this was suicidal.
The Nazi's were notoriously useless in economic management, the amount and variety of consumables that had run out in the shops in the one party State is legendary! "

Pick the Bones out of that Billy Boy! :lickish:

You are aware,

That Adolf Hitler could outdraw Cassius Clay any day of the week.

Does that mean Adolf should be called......... 'Der Greatest'.
