We Are World Champions
1954 - Stadium Of Berne - World Cup Final: The Real Foundation Of Germany
“Aus! Aus! Aus! Das Spiel ist aus!” were the words of radio reporter Herbert Zimmermann on 4 July 1954, when Germany won the FIFA World Cup final for the first time, nine years after the end of WWII. An overwhelming, touching victory — a nation was reborn.
Forty years later, eleven famous eyewitnesses look back on this memorable event in WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS, including restored historic film footage and radio recordings, as well as contributions from players of the winning German team.
