Hakenkreuz und rundes Leder

The German football also underwent a more or less smooth alignment with the Nazi regime. But how did this shameful adaptation work? How did the DFB behave, and what about the major clubs? What persecutions did Jewish and leftist footballers face? Were there opportunities for action that were not taken? On the other hand, was there secret obstruction against the omnipresent dictatorship? And how did the DFB come to terms with its own past after 1945? This book was produced by numerous renowned sports historians and journalists of various political backgrounds. It presents a comprehensive and multifaceted account that goes far beyond the study published by the DFB itself a few years ago.
