the next game between the two teams, and the last to be played before the second world war, was again in germany, a friendly at the olympic stadium in berlin on 14 may 1938, played in front of a crowd of 110,000 people. it was the last time england played against a unified german team until the 1990s. this was the most controversial of all the early encounters between the two teams, as before kick-off the english players were ordered by the foreign office to line up and perform a nazi salute in respect to their hosts. how compliant the players were with this situation has been a matter of debate, with a feature in "the observer" in 2001 speculating that they were "perhaps merely indifferent players (who had undoubtedly become more reluctant, to the point of mutiny, by the time the post-war memoirs were published)."
