The Role of the German National Soccer Team during National Socialism
If we want to understand the role and the function of sport today we have got to understand the role and the function of sport in the past. For sport in National Socialism, its main functions were to prepare the German people for war and prove the superiority of the Aryan race. So which role did the German national soccer team play as an instrument of propaganda? With the help of functionalist theories this book explains the concepts and ideas of sport during National Socialism. Then, by applying Norbert Elias concept of figurational sociology, it shows why football could not be an appropriate sport to implement the National Socialist doctrine.
