Outside the locked iron gates of Augsburg's Rosenau Stadium last week milled an overflow crowd of some 2,000 men-crutch-borne veterans and draftage youngsters. Derisively they barked the familiar German parade ground orders: Achtung. Vorwarts marsch. Rechts urn, links urn, rechts um." Inside the stadium restaurant, another 1,000 jammed crutch-littered tables, guzzling beer from massive mugs and laughing at the youngsters who mock goose-stepped around in paper hats...
