It's good to see the British Pathé collection on YouTube- lots of interesting football footage to watch for free.
The above clip shows action from the Germany v Hungary match on 24.10.20. This was Germany's 3rd game since the end of the 1914-18 war. Interestingly the inter-titles refer to the championship of Europe- a rather mad claim- the previous month Belgium had controversially won Olympic Gold at the expense of Czechoslovakia and both Switzerland and Austria had beaten Germany that summer. Great Britain was seldom thought of as part of Europe in those days, and the title Learning the Game reveals the British attitude towards continental football. This was Germany's 33rd official international. Of the previous 32 they had won 6, drawn 5 and lost 21.
The DFB give the official attendance as 55,000.
Adolf Jäger won the game for the hosts with a 22nd minute penalty.
The referee was Herr Hirrle of Switzerland.
