On your first game tomorrow you must do your best, play your heart out just like the others, because here you cannot loose. Losing the game will be deadly to all of you because the gentle football fans will turn into bloodthirsty animals. Be safe and do not get injured. Don’t get into any hard tackles because there is no place or need for a limping or injured player. According to the SS officers, these players belong in the gas chambers.
