Football Du Peuple. Montpellier

The only England national football team player who refused the order to perform the n**i salute before the match against Germany on 14 May 1938, Stan Cullis, simply said:

“Count me out.”

On this day, 14 May 1938, the players of the England football team raised their arms to give the N**i "Heil Hi**er" salute before a match in Berlin. They had been instructed to do so directly by the British Foreign Office.
Reportedly, the players at first refused, until the British ambassador and Football Association secretary intervened and ordered them to do so. According to his biographer, one of the players, Stan Cullis, would not perform the salute and was dropped from the team for that match as a result.
At the time, the British government was pursuing a policy of appeasement of N**i dictator Adolf Hi**er, and shortly after, it signed an agreement permitting Germany's annexation of parts of then-Czechoslovakia.
Much of the British ruling class supported Hi**er, as well as the dictatorships in Italy, Spain and Portugal, as bulwarks against communism and an organised working class. Influential British fascists included King Edward VIII. He was forced to abdicate in 1936 and became the Duke of Windsor, but he maintained close N**i ties even during World War II, when he urged Germany to bomb Britain.
Wealthy socialite Unity Mitford was an open N**i and antisemite, who wrote: "I want everyone to know I am a Jew hater." Another prominent figure was Lord Rothermere, owner of the Daily Mail newspaper, and a personal friend of Hi**er.
And while Conservative MP Winston Churchill was suspicious of Hi**er's imperialist ambitions, he wrote both of his support of Italian fascist Benito Mussolini, and of his admiration for Hi**er: "The story of that struggle (Hi**er's rise to power), cannot be read without admiration for the courage, the perseverance, and the vital force which enabled him to challenge, defy, conciliate or overcome, all the authority or resistances which barred his path."
