Information

The match was edited down by the broadcaster. It was the first match in ever played between both national teams if we do not count the precedent of the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games between the DFB representing the German Empire and the Russian Empire, won by Germany by 16:0. In addition, this 1955 match took place shortly after the death of Stalin in 1953 - who, it has been said, did not forgive the Germans - and this match played a political part in the reconciliation of both countries.
