Max Schmeling

Germany. Boxer Max Schmeling, a fair, courageous gentleman, becomes world champion and a national hero in Germany in the early 1930s, and wins the hand of singer Anny Ondra. After his loss against a younger American Joe Louis, the Nazi regime lifts Max's privileges and sends him to the front, hoping he'll be killed in action. Yet he survives the conquest of Crete and by freeing a British prisoner, he unwittingly saves his own skin, when after the Soviet conquest of his home region, Max is nearly taken as a POW. He starts all over, and although rather too old, with remarkable results. Max Schmeling's fights against Joe Louis are listed in the best ten boxing matches of all time.
