Nazi Germany
Nazi Germany (lit. "National Socialist State"), ' (lit. "Nazi State") for short; also ' (lit. "National Socialist Germany") (officially known as the German Reich from 1933 until 1943, and the Greater German Reich from 1943 to 1945) was the German state between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled the country, transforming it into a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Germany quickly became a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The Third Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", alluded to the Nazi claim that Nazi Germany was the successor to the earlier Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and German Empire (1871–1918). The Third Reich, which Hitler and the Nazis referred to as the Thousand-Year Reich, ended in May 1945 after just 12 years when the Allies defeated Germany, ending World War II in Europe. On 30 January 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany, the head of gove ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gauliga Hessen-Nassau
A Gauliga () was the highest level of play in German football from 1933 to 1945. The leagues were introduced in 1933, after the Nazi takeover of power by the National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise. Name The German word ''Gauliga'' is composed of Gau, approximately meaning county or region, and ''Liga'', or league. The plural is ''Gauligen''.

The introduction of the Gauligen was part of the ''Gleichschaltung'' process, whereby the Nazis completely revamped the domestic administration. The Gauligen were largely formed along the new Gaue, designed to replace the old German s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gauliga Generalgouvernement
The Gauliga Generalgouvernement was the highest football league in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany after 1939, which were not incooperated into any of the ''Gaue'', the so-called General Government (German:''General Gouvernement'').

Overview The ''Gauliga Generalgouvernement'' was as such introduced by the Nazi Sports Office in 1941, but never actually became a proper league. It existed as a championship round for the four district champions of the General Government only, the four districts being: * Krakau ''(Kraków)'' * Lublin * Radom * Warschau ''(Warsaw)'' Polish clubs were not permitted to take part in the competition, only clubs from the German ethnic minority, which made up 2.3 percent of the overall population of Poland, or 741,000 people.

Gauliga Elsaß
The Gauliga Elsaß was the highest football league in the region of Alsace (German: Elsaß, the old orthography of Elsass) from 1940 to 1945. The Nazis reorganised the administrative region and the Alsace became part of the Gau Baden-Elsaß. Overview The league was introduced by the Nazi Sports Office in 1940, after the French defeat and the direct German administration of the Alsace region. The Alsace region was traditionally disputed between the two countries and had been part of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918, with its football clubs playing in the German league system then. The ''de facto'' annexation of Alsace in June 1940 meant the return of competitive football to the region, as league competition had already been suspended in France in September 1939 but continued in Germany. The ''Gauliga Elsaß'' was established with sixteen clubs in two groups of eight, all from the Alsace region. The two group winners then played a home-and-away final to determine the Alsace cha ...

SG SS Straßburg
SS Straßburg was a German association football club from the city of Straßburg, Elsass (today Strasbourg, Alsace in France). The team was founded in 1900 as ''FC Frankonia 1900 Straßburg'' (after Franconia) when the region was under German control. Following the end of World War I the territory of Alsace was returned to France and the team became part of that country's competition as ''Sport-Club Red-Star Straßbourg''. In August 1940, after the Nazi conquest of the province, ''Frankonia'' collapsed, but was immediately re-constituted out of its former membership as ''Sportgemeinschaft Schutzstaffel Straßburg'' in September. The formation of military clubs was common in Germany at the time, but the creation of an SS side required the permission of Schutzstaffel head Heinrich Himmler. ''SG'' became part of the Gauliga Unterelsass, a regional first division established in the territory of Elsass, without having to first qualify. The side was quickly strengthened by the addit ...
