The disappearance of well-known Nazi war criminals, who evaded justice with the help of an escape aid network and mutual support and were thus given the chance for a second career, forms the historical starting point for this docu-fictional installation. For decades, the real processes and connections of this operation were overgrown with legends and rumours, in which a mysterious organization called Odessa, ratlines and dubious teammates played the main role(s). In the club’s changing room, a match that never was is retraced. With a controversial squad, “deadly passes” and coded messages. A ghost game of the “global division” that only began with the final whistle in 1945 and is currently in extra time.

Deciphered ballet – In the installation, the jerseys are placed in such a way that they show neo-Nazi codes and can be deciphered by the game instructions.

81 (8 next to 1) This “encryption technology” was popularized at the beginning of the 1980s by the Hells Angels rocker group in Hamburg, which, after a previous ban, began to operate as the “81ers”. 168:1 (16 next to 8 next to 1) The number combination is a code for the bomb attack in Oklahoma/USA, which was carried out in 1995 by the American terrorist Timothy McVeigh. The attack killed 168 people. McVeigh was sentenced to death and executed in 2001. In a macabre glorification of this neo-Nazi terrorist attack, the code reproduces the “result”. 18 (number of jerseys, 18 missing in consecutive numbering 17,19) 18 stands for Adolf Hitler. The number combination can be found in the names of the organization Combat 18 and the band Sturm 18, for example. 28 Since the organization Blood & Honour (B&H) was banned in September 2000, the 28 has been used as a synonym for B&H. Instead of the original and now banned lettering, the corresponding numerical code is now used. Examples: “28 – you can’t ban us”, “28 Supporter” (B&H supporters). A neo-Nazi group active in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate calls itself MSC 28. 14 Words (number 14) Is the abbreviation for the 14-word phrase: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”. This “creed” is a quote from the US neo-Nazi David Lane, who was a member of the terrorist organization The Order. The 14 words are often used as a greeting and are used in song lyrics, as T-shirt prints, patches, jewelry, jacket emblems and on CD covers. It is also popular to combine the 14 with the 88, for example as a car license plate. C / Category / CK or KC ( 3 next to 11) In the police classification of soccer supporters, fans (mostly hooligans) from the spectrum that are always ready to use violence are referred to as Category C individuals. The term is popular in the hooligan scene and is also used in part by neo-Nazis who want to express their willingness to use violence. Category C is registered as a trademark in different variations, some of them by neo-Nazis. The Bremen hooligan band Kategorie C has close contacts in the neo-Nazi scene and is very popular there. 3 X KKK ( 3 next to 11) In 1865, the Ku Klux Klan was organized as a secret society in Tennessee. Covered in white hoods, the members of the Ku Klux Klan carried out horrific massacres against people of color and assassinations of Republican politicians who supported the implementation of anti-slavery laws in the southern states. P2 – Lodge (16 opposite 2) 13.7.43 ( 13 next to 7 next to 4 and 3 ) Execution of the White Rose Alexander Schmorell and Prof. Kurt Huber were executed by the National Socialists on July 13, 1943. They were members of the “White Rose”, one of the most famous resistance groups against Hitler. The Munich students Sophie and Hans Scholl founded this group together with friends because they wanted to show that many young people were against National Socialism. They printed and distributed leaflets in which they called on their fellow students to resist. The janitor of the university betrayed the Scholl siblings to the Secret State Police on February 18, 1943, and shortly afterwards they and the other members of the White Rose were executed. 11 / 9 / 11 Attack on the World Trade Center. Motifs glorifying the attacks of September 11, 2001 are becoming increasingly popular, sometimes reminiscent of the concept of the ZOG are linked. On the T-shirt motif, United States has been replaced by “J..nited States”, which is supposed to mean “Jewnited States”. The abbreviation for Zionist Occupied Government means “Zionist occupied government” and is used in the neo-Nazi scene as code for the hallucinated “Jewish world conspiracy”. The term ZOG was coined by right-wing terrorist groups and its use in spray paint, writings and song lyrics is always in the context of a call to fight against “ZOG” on a militant, terrorist level. Motifs containing the code ZOG usually show images and symbols of hate-filled anti-Semitism and are predominantly relevant under criminal law in Germany. Opus Dei occupied 10 out of 19 cabinet members in the fascist Franco regime. (15 compared to 4 and next to 6,10 and 19) When church and state were strictly separated in the Republican part of Spain during the Spanish Civil War, churches were destroyed and priests and members of religious orders were persecuted, Escrivá (the founder) fled to the part of Spain occupied by General Franco in 1937.Since the 1950s, some members of Opus Dei were politically active under the then dictator Franco.10 of the 19 cabinet members in his last years in power belonged to Opus Dei, including some in the transition cabinet after Franco’s death. 13 Antichrist / anticommunist
