Professor Beck discusses the December 1935 football match between England and Germany.
Was the December 1935 football match between England and Germany purely a sporting event, as the British Foreign Office and the Germany embassy claimed at the time, or was it a political prelude to a still more extravagant propaganda spectacle at the Berlin Olympics the following year?
Peter J. Beck, Emeritus Professor of History at Kingston University, is the author of Scoring for Britain: International Football and International Politics, 1900-1939 (1999). He has published articles on the footballing dimension of the England-Germany relationship in both the BBC History Magazine and History Today. His most recent books are 'Presenting History: Past and Present' (2012) and 'Using History, Making British Policy: the Treasury and the Foreign Office, 1950-1976' (2006).
