What is the attitude of German people to the club teams that played during the Third Reich?
Do people feel that they can celebrate the successes of good German club teams from this era, despite the regime they played under? Are records kept of the league in these years?
Answers:
If any of us younger Germans knew anything about achievements from before the war, we probably would not get enthusiastic about it, because our education system has conditioned us into strictly rejecting absolutely everything that happened in that era. Owning paraphernalia from that era will put you in jail, and even showing an interest in it will denotate you as a Neonazi; and no one wants to be that, only our hooligans. So, no, that era is a no-go zone for us young ones, who ar, in effect, members of a different, better, and artificially created country than our forefathers were.
They probably didnt play during this time, like the World cup, it was put on hold
Being German i can say, records do exist but the person before me is correct, no leagues were played except for friendly matches and sometimes with english teams as opposition.
After the war, Bert Trautmann a german prisoner of war kept goal for manchester city and played in the 1956 final. There was no animosity from both peoples.
I don't know about that. But I do know that the germans are extremely sensitive to what happened then (Hitler and the Jews and everything), and I don't think that they would feel that celebrating the achievements of Third Reich-era clubs would be quite proper as football is often (as I have found out over the last few months) quite a national pride thing (Not just in terms of national teams as many people might support their hometown teams as a national/regional identity thing).
But to be honest, I don't think it matters unless those clubs actively supported the regime or used Jew labour (like Porsche did; Jews from the concentration camps worked in their car-assembly plants). Anyway, don't they always say NOT to politicize sport? After all, it's the Washington Wizards one supports, not the Bush administration.
