The ‘Daily Mail’s Berlin correspondent says: Schmeling’s £50,000 challenge to Braddock for the worlds heavyweight title fight in Berlin has been made with the consent and approval of the highest Nazi officials, who are making an effort to offer some counter-attraction in the Summer to London’s Coronation celebrations and the World Exhibition in Paris. It is revealed that, before sailing for the United States at the end of February, Schmeling conversed with Goering and Goebbels, and finally with Hitler * \ If the fight’is arranged, it will need Olympic Stadium accommodation for 150,000 spectators.
