Main article:History of Aston Villa F.C. (1874–1961)

Aston Villa played the1937–38 English football season in theFootball League Second Division, winning promotion as champions.

In the summer of 1938 Villa touredNazi Germany.^[1] The day before their first match, theEngland football team bowed to pressure from the BritishForeign Office and performed theNazi salute during afriendly match on 14 May 1938.^[2] Despite this diplomatic protocol theBirmingham Gazette reported the performance of Villa'sFrank Broome beside headline, “GESTAPO”, in which it detailed the surveillance of 20,000 Germans in England by the German Secret Police.

The atmosphere in the Villa's first match against a German Select XI was in marked contrast to the England game with continual jeering and whistling. Villa's use of theoffside trap was unfamiliar and frustrating to the German players and fans.When future Villa manager,Alex Massie fouledCamillo Jerusalem, the referee needed to separate the teams. Hostility from the 110,000 crowd intensified when the Villa players left the pitch without the requiredNazi salute andJoseph Goebbels was called to suppress subsequent hostile German press coverage.^[3]

The second game, in Düsseldorf, passed without incident but, following the third match, in Stuttgart,SS guards andStormtroopers were needed to protect the players from the crowd.^[3] During the warTIME Magazine reported that theVilla reserve team, all captured at Dunkirk, thrashed their captor SS guards.^[4]

There were debuts for Frank Shell, Bill Carey, Tommy Clayton and Jeff Barker.^[5]
