Description

Bert Trautmann's remarkable journey from Nazi Youth indoctrination to English footballing icon is a gripping story of redemption. Born in Nazi Germany, Trautmann was indoctrinated by the Hitler Youth, before fighting in World War Two on the Eastern Front. Captured in 1945, he was sent to a British POW camp where he first understood that there could be a better way of life. Embracing England as his new home, Trautmann became an English football hero, playing for Manchester City and earning a reputation as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.
