	In 1938, champion Joe Louis announced that he would indeed face Schmeling for the title. The rematch became an instant international sensation. Many clamored impatiently for its happening, but others, afraid of international tensions and the possibility of Hitler taking over the championship, protested. The controversy and ballyhoo led to the ~~even~~ becoming the most anticipated boxing match since the rematch between Dempsey and Gene Tunney, or possibly earlier. Louis, with his poor, African American roots was adopted by American fans as the symbol of America as a land of opportunity. In contrast, Americans perceived Schmeling and his ties to Hitler as an obvious threat to those opportunities and ideals. When the German walked to the ring at Yankee Stadium on June 22, 1938, he did so under a hail of garbage thrown from the stands. Ironically, it was a less humiliating barrage than what he experienced in the ring. Louis came out blazing in the first round and Schmeling tried to counterpunch as he had in the first bout, but to no avail. Driven into the ropes and battered with a fusillade of short, crisp blows from every angle, Schmeling turned his back to his opponent and clutched onto the ropes, letting out a scream that years later many spectators could recall vividly. Schmeling would later claim that he screamed because he had been hit with a blow to the kidneys. Schmeling's knees buckled under the punishment and referee [[Arthur Donovan]] pushed Louis away, beginning a count on Schmeling. Schmeling reluctantly stepped away from the ropes and Donovan allowed him to continue. A few punches later, the german was laying on the canvas. From then on, he was helpless. He rose but fell moments later and Donovan stopped the fight.		In 1938, champion Joe Louis announced that he would indeed face Schmeling for the title.

	When he returned to Germany, Schmeling was now shunned by the Nazis. Schmeling managed to win both the German and European heavyweight championships on the same night, with a first round knockout of [[Adolf Heuser]]. During the Nazi purge of Jews from Berlin, he personally saved the lives of two Jewish children by hiding them in his house. He also visited American P.O.W. camps and occasionally tried to help conditions for the prisoners. He remained loyal to his country, however, and, drafted into the Germany Army during the second World War, he served honorably as a paratrooper. After the war, strapped for money, he embarked upon a moderately successful comeback in boxing, winning three of his five bouts with two point defeats before re-entering retirement in 1948.
