The German national football team〔At the time it was simply called ''"die 11 besten Spieler von Deutschland"'' (see commemorative stamp) or just ''"die Bundesauswahl" (the Federation XI)''. Tags like ''"National team"'' or ''"National XI"'' weren't introduced until much later〕 played its first international in the age of the German Empire, on 5 April 1908, losing 3-5 to Switzerland in Basel.〔(Schweiz - Deutschland 5 April 1908 ) Fussballdaten.de. Retrieved 14 May 2009〕 Bizarrely, Germany’s fifth and sixth international were played in 1909 on the same date, 4 April, by two separate teams, one playing Hungary in Budapest and the other Switzerland in Karlsruhe.〔(Ungarn - Deutschland 4 April 2009 ) Fussballdaten.de. Retrieved 14 May 2009〕〔(Deutschland - Schweiz 4 April 1909 ) Fussballdaten.de. Retrieved 14 May 2009〕 The team playing in Karlsruhe was made up of players from Southern Germany while the Budapest eleven came from Central and Northern Germany.〔(Harte Lehrjahre für die Nationalelf ) DFB website - Early years of the German national team. Retrieved 14 May 2009〕 Its biggest win in this era came against Russia, a 16-0 at the 1912 Summer Olympics. The team played 30 internationals until the outbreak of the First World War, its last on 5 April 1914, against the Netherlands. During the war, no internationals were played and in the new German Republic the team played its first post-war match on 27 June 1920, once more against Switzerland. Only six players were recalled to the post-war side that had been playing for Germany before the war, Eduard Pendorf aka "Edy", Otto Harder, Hans Schmidt, Josef Schümmelfelder, Karl Wolter and Adolf Jäger. Germany played a further 63 games until the Nazis came to power in January 1933. In fascist Germany, now without any players of Jewish origin, the team played its first international against France on 19 March 1933. It competed at the 1934 and 1938 FIFA World Cup; at the later with players from the recently annexed Austria. This resulted in a number of players becoming dual internationals, for Austria and Germany. With the outbreak of the Second World War, Nazi Germany did not cease to play internationals but was limited to neutral, allied and puppet states. Its first war international was held on 24 September 1939, a loss to Hungary in Budapest. All together, the country played 35 internationals during the war, its last on 22 November 1942, against Slovakia, its 198th game all up. The new, post-war Germany, sub-divided into three parts, the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic and Saarland, returned to international football from 1950. Following the re-inauguration of Deutscher Fussball-Bund which was now in charge of football in the Federal Republic and West Berlin only, and its re-entry into the FIFA, the team played its first post-war international, against Switzerland once more, on 22 November 1950 in Stuttgart. The German D.R. gained FIFA membership in 1952. Four players selected before the war appeared for the nation after the war again, Herbert Burdenski, Andreas Kupfer, Jakob Streitle and Fritz Walter. The players with the most caps in the pre-1945 era were Paul Janes (71), followed by Ernst Lehner (65) and Albin Kitzinger (44). The leading goal scorer for Germany was Ernst Lehner (30). ==List== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Germany international footballers 1908–1942」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
