May 8, 1974: The 1. FC Magdeburg wins the European Cup. The first and only GDR soccer club ever. At that time, success coach Heinz Krügel became a legend. In 2014, the Mitedburg fans will give him a monument – right in front of the stadium. Only then does it become known: Krügel has a dark past in the Waffen-SS. Ronny Blaschke has researched the case for sports Inside and dealt with how football deals with its past in National Socialism. Because Heinz Krügel is not an isolated case. To date, the entangling of football players and officials in Nazi regime has hardly been refurbished. Consequences are rarely drawn. The DFB has not yet done all of its homework.
