Samenvatting
When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, football came to an abrupt halt. Then it was realised that if victory was the national goal, soccer could help - and football went to war. Boosting morale among servicemen, munitions workers and beleaguered citizens alike - and raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for war funds.
