International Head-to-Head –Part one, Holland and Germany -part 2 (1930s-60s)

1930s

Neither side was clearly dominant over the other in this decade. The 1935 and 1937 matches marked the first matches after the Nazis coming to power in Germany.

In the 1937 match, the german Manager was Sepp Herberger. He would remain in his post until 1964.

The outbreak of World War II, as well as Germany’s occupation of Holland, made matches between  the nations impossible.

It would be nearly twenty years before the nations faced each other.

1950s

Due to perhaps, hostilities from World War II, the two nations did not face each other for nearly two decades. It was only in 1956, that the nations faced one another once more.

By now, the now (West) Germans were defending World Cup champions, while the Dutch were starting to slowly enter Professionalism (1954).

While the Dutch stars were Abe Lensta and Faas Wilkes, the Germans were led by Fritz Walter and new young star Uwe Seeler. The heavy defeat suffered by the Dutch in 1959 (0-7) reflected this gap.

This would be the heaviest defeat and the most lopsided affair between the nations.

1960s

The natiosn would only meet once in a friendly during this decade. The West Germans, one of the best teams in the World, defeated Holladn in a preparatory match prior to the 1966 World Cup.

Uwe Seeler was stilla round and a new star named Franz Beckenbauer. The Germans were now managed by Helmut Schoen.

The Ajax revolution was just around the corner and a few months later, a teenage Johann Cruyff would make his debut for the National team (as well as getting sent off).
