    If you post what is written on the back of the picture as best you can, I'll try to tell you what it says.

    Thanks for the offer but Classic speaks/reads German very very well...He lived in Germany for over 12 years....

    What he posted was translated by him from the back of the pic....

    You do seem to find the most interestng items Classic! This same gentleman also won a bronze medal in the shot-put in Berlin.

    Was this the same year that Jessie Owens was Javelin-catcher?

    Jesse Owens made his mark on the german people during these olympics, Hitler was astounded that he was such a good athelete.

    I thought this picture was in very good shape being from 1936, however it is framed and under glass.
