No,, it is gossip by all means because i have searched a lot but could not find any clue about that,,, HITLER had done many bad things and some additional are associated due to his bad reputation,,, and killing of cricket team is one of the false associated gossips about HITLER

___

They don't play cricket in Germany, so the story is a load of nonsense.

____

During the First World War Hitler was injured and sent to hospital. At the hospital were some English prisoners of war playing cricket.

Hitler watched the game thought it was not brutal enough and wrote some new rules - larger ball, no protection.

He organised a team and played the English once. It is assumed that his team lost as there is no more mention of cricket in the Hitler story.

I'm betting the members of his losing team were probably sent to fun places like the eastern front.

History of Germany cricket team time of Hitler?

According to the site of the German Cricket Association (Deutscher Cricket Bund), cricket has been played in Germany since the 1850s. In 1945, there was a total of four clubs left (all in Berlin), and cricket wasn't really heard of until the 1980s, when it was established as a team sport at several German universities. Subsequently, the German Cricket Association was founded in 1988. Today, the German Association is an Associate Member of the ICC and (according to the German Wikipedia site) ranked 18th in the World. I read this story regarding Hitler Once Hitler was watching a match that went on and on. He kept asking when it would be over, and someone told him it would continue the next day for the entire day and well into the evening. He said, 'By the time this stupid game is over, I could have conquered three countries. " some people say that Hitler banned cricket in Germany as it was time consuming . That he killed the German cricket team is unlikely to be true there is no reference to it on the internet..


Did Hitler kill his Cricket team?

this is a myth that is very popular in the cricket loving nations of the subcontinent... the truth is that there is absolutely no prove of this what so ever. infact the Germans never played any cricket so there is no question of Hitler killing any German cricketer. this is part of a propoganda campain against him which was launched after WW2 and is going on still. Hitler would have done some bad things as all rulers do in their time, the Russians or the Americans are no different but many attrocities are attributes to his personality which are sometimes a dilebrate attempt to twist history and sometimes plain ignorance on the part of the people. there is no defending for some of his actions but he never did kill a cricketer..
