'Der Bereich Sport repräsentiert einen bemerkenswerten Fall in der zeitgenössischen deutschen Geschichte. In allen entscheidenden Sektoren der Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft erwies sich die Bundesrepublik als überlegen, seit 1968 allerdings gelang es der DDR Westdeutschland in den Olympischen Spielen zu schlagen. Nichtsdestotrotz konnte die DDR im Bereich Fußball nicht konkurrieren; der berühmte Sieg im Jahre 1974 gegen das Team der BRD bleib der einzige. Im Bewusstsein der Unterlegenheit vermied die DDR in Zukunft jegliches Match gegen die westdeutsche Nationalmannschaft. Gegenüberstellungen zwischen individuellen Vereinen waren einer strikten Kontrolle unterzogen, um jede Art von menschlicher Annäherung zwischen des Athleten von Ost und West zu unterbinden. Der anhaltende Enthusiasmus der DDR-Fußball-Fans für westdeutsche Teams blieb jedoch ein gesamtdeutsches Bekenntnis in der Zeit der geteilten Nation und konnte auch durch repressive Maßnahmen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes nicht verhindert werden.'

'The field of sport represents a remarkable special case in contemporary German history: In all crucial sectors of economics and society, the Federal Republic turned out to be the superior one, but since 1968 the GDR succeeded to beat West-Germany in the Olympic games. Nevertheless, the GDR couldn't compete on the football fields; the famous victory in the year 1974 against the FRG team remained the one and only one. Being aware of their inferiority, the GDR constantly avoided any matches against the West German national team in the future. Comparisons between individual clubs were subject to a strict monitoring, in order to prevent any human approximation between the athletes from east and west. The continuous enthusiasm of the GDR football fans for West German teams remained nevertheless a national clip in the epoch of the divided nation and could not be prohibited by repressive measures of the security service.'
