World War II: A recent survey by the German public broadcaster has fueled a lot of criticism in the country as it suggested that 21% of respondents agreed that they wanted to see more white players on the national football team.

The dispute arose only a few weeks after Adidas, the team's kit maker, banned supporters from purchasing German football shirts embroidered with the number 44 due to the number's striking similarity to the emblem of Nazi SS units from World War II, as brought to light by the national media.

"It is racist. I feel we need to wake up. Many people in Europe had to flee.. searching for a safe country," Nagelsmann told reporters.
