	Description:		In 1954, West Germany faced the all-powerful Hungarian side of Ferenc Puskas in the football World Cup final in Switzerland. Despite going two goals down, the Germans fought back and seized an epic win with six minutes to go. The 'Miracle of Bern' gave a new sense of confidence to a nation still scarred by Nazism and the legacy of World War Two. Lucy Burns brings together archive recordings of two of the German footballers who played in the match. (Photo: The West German team celebrate at the final whistle. Credit: Bongarts/Getty Images).
