Book presentation “Schwalbe”

In 'Schwalbe', author Kurt Deswert tells the hidden history of the Belgian dressing rooms during the Second World War. A story of opportunism and heroism, of Red Devils in the resistance and Red Devils in collaboration. The tragic fate of the Jewish players, referees and trainers is exposed in an oppressive way. And the story is told of the Belgian football players who went to work for English and… German teams.

With 'Schwalbe', Kurt Deswert excavates a hitherto completely unexposed chapter from Belgian football and war history from oblivion.
