An amazing letter, by Luz Long, a German soldier on the battlefield in WWII, written to Jesse Owens, whom he met when they were both competing at the Olympics...
My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me. It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.
