This is an automatically translated description

The proposed book reflects the little-known pages of sports life in Nazi-occupied Ukraine during the German-Soviet war. The author shows the conditions in which it took place; who organised it; how the German (Romanian) occupation administration and Ukrainian athletes treated sports; what reasons prompted Ukrainians to play sports in the occupied territory, to participate in boxing, football, and hockey competitions, because, according to the Soviet interpretation, they were enemies of the people and thus actively collaborated with the Nazis; what role sport played in the lives of Wehrmacht soldiers and the Ukrainian population.

The book is based on the materials of the occupation press of Ukraine, which reflects the sports life of that period quite meaningfully, as well as on memoirs and memoirs of participants in those events.

This publication will be of interest to a wide range of readers, especially those who study the history of sports and the German-Soviet war.
