Sgeulachd gaisgeachd nach deach innse roimhe. Sheas an curaidh teanas a bha cuideachd sa chuairt dheireannach aig Wimbledon 3 tursan, Gottfried von Cramm, an aghaidh rèisim nan Nàsach is dh’fhuiling e uallach mòr, agus fiù ‘s maoidheadh bho Hitler fhèin. Aon de ghaisgich teanas an 20mh linn a th’ air a dhol à cuimhne, chaidh a dhreuchd is a chliù an dubhadh às ri linn a’ ghràin cho-sheòrsachd a bha a’ sìor-fhàs às dèidh 20an an 20mh linn – agus na bha san amharc aig Hitler dhan churaidh spòrs. A dh’aindeoin euchdan spòrsa, dh’fhuiling e geur-leanmhainn ri linn a bhith gèidh, chaidh a chur dhan phrìosan agus a chur a shabaid air Aghaidh Shear a’ Chogaidh. Seallaidh an t-sreath dà-earrann seo ri bheatha, a’ tarraing aire gu a smioralas, a threibhdhireas agus na h-oidhirpean dhaonnachadail aige a dh’aindeoin àmhghar.

Gottfried von Cramm, a tennis champion and three-time Wimbledon finalist, defied the Nazi regime and faced immense pressure, including threats from Hitler himself. The career and fame of this forgotten tennis hero of the 20th century were shunned early on due to the rising rampant homophobia that prevailed after the Roaring Twenties, along with Adolf Hitler’s hidden agenda for the sports star.

Despite his athletic achievements, he was persecuted for being gay, imprisoned and sent to fight on the Eastern Front. This series explores his life, highlighting his courage, integrity and humanitarian efforts amid great adversity.
