Loved your worked in HistoryMarche and The People Profiles and just found this. Good luck making it on your own, something I definently want to witness 👌🍀🤞👍

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Welcome to the channel folks! I hope you enjoy the video

[@barrydysert2974]

i loved your narrations on The People Profiles and have missed hearing your strong and confident voice. And speaking of your voice, i had you pegged as being an older man not nearly so young and handsome. Good luck with your new channel. 🖖

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Much appreciated!

[@willgibbons1733]

I recognise your voice. I've watch so many history videos on here. You have a very unique voice.

Thankyou so much :)

Ironic that much was made of Hitler's snubbing of Jesse Owens, but then he was made to use the freight elevator, instead of the front door in his own country. Very glad that the vastly overwhelming majority of Americans feel the same today. Thanks for illuminating the nuance of the controversy. It makes a lot of sense, now.

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

It's an aspect I never considered until we were producing the video. A horrifying reality that segregation was within living memory

[@yankeeapple5615]

In the book "Red Tail Captured, Redtail Free" Tuskegee Airman Alexander Jefferson tells of being treated with professionalism and dignity by the Nazis only to be confronted by segregation literally as he walked off the ship when returning home.

Thanks Alex! And congrats on the new channel. I have been your fan for years now, since the time your were doing the narrations of HistoryMarche. This topic is well covered, as the others episodes that I watched so far, nice work! Among many thoughts that came up after watching this episode, I felt sorry to know that a hero - like Owen, was not recognized well by his own country. I wonder why the civil rights groups did not grab such mistreatment, to rise up and demand their fair share of rights and dignity? That could have brought what was achieved in the 1960s much earlier!

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Thanks! They were doing so, however it was culturally entrenched in much of US society at the time and not easily shifted

[@RodolfoGaming]

If you don't subscribe as soon as you hear this magnificent voice, you are not warranted here. ALL HAIL THE KING OF NARRATION!

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Thankyou for the support :)

[@39doddle]

Just subscribed! Love all history documentaries.

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Cheers!

Thank you for pointing out the way Owens was treated in Germany vs. that of the US. Even if Hitler was displeased he was still somewhat cordial to Owens, probably due to all of the media there. Owens was not happy with the way he was treated in the US and Roosevelt per his own memoirs. I've known about this little bit of history for quite some time now but it is so often glossed over.

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

It's definitely an aspect that gets glossed over in the us vs them narrative. It's similar to how the US army was segregated until 1948, but got a shock when they came over to Europe.

[@aaronosheaarchery]

I love this channel. Keep pushing it Alex. It'll click with time.

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Thankyou Aaron!

[@aaronosheaarchery]

@Alexander Doddy you have a very distinctive voice too. The more you push content, the more widespread recognition you'll get. People will stumble across content with the YT algorithm and go "ah I know this guy" and be inclined to listen. 😊

[@WNYfellow]

A very familiar topic - but well done!

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Thankyou for watching!

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Thankyou so much to everyone who is watching, commenting and liking the videos! The channel is at a crossroads. It would mean the world to us if you shared them as well! Whether it's this video, the latest videos on Suffrage, or the Viking invasions it would be a massive help!

[@kenj.8897]

Jessi should have given Roosevelt the finger

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

Dangerous, but potentially worth it!

On his return to the US after the 1936 Olympics, Robert Owens was not invited to the White House. He later said, "Hitler didn't snub me - it was FDR who snubbed me. The President didn't even send me a telegram."

[@Vic35102]

Love your voice have you left the people's profile?

[@PeopleProfilesExtra]

Only to start his channel.

[@katherinecollins4685]

Very interesting

[@TheJimboslav]

Did not imagine this face to the voice. What part of England does your accent come from. Great work by the way.

[@PeopleProfilesExtra]

Yorkshire!

[@TheJimboslav]

@@PeopleProfilesExtra thanks!

[@valerietaylor9615]

He doesn’t have a Yorkshire accent, though. If he did, you wouldn’t be able to understand a word he says.

[@ReallyStrongGuy]

Stephan sent messages. The voice sounds corny af imo, but people in the other comments seem to like it.

[@jaquino451]

FDR ignored Owens the liberals tend to forget that FDR was a Dixiecrat by heart.

[@alexanderdoddy7590]

It's like the salute that used to be given to the flag during the pledge of allegiance

[@johnfun3394]

To me Jesse Owens was the first American to defeat Hitler and to expose the ridiculous thought of superiority, just took a little longer at home. Named my boy Jesse. Thanks
