Dresdner's performance then slipped, but started to come around again in the latter years of the Third Reich's Gauligen, which played from 1933 to early 1945. They captured the Von Tschammer Cup – the Nazi's version of today's German Cup, named for the regime's Reichssportsfürher – in 1940 and 1941, and followed up with national titles in 1943 and 1944. Their (4:0) win over Luftwaffen SV Hamburg in Berlin's Olympiastadion made them the last holders of the Viktoria Trophy, symbolic of German football supremacy since it was first awarded to VfB Leipzig in 1903. That trophy was secreted by a Dresden supporter to a bank safe deposit box in what would become East Germany and remained hidden away for decades before finally being returned to the DFB (Deutscher Fussball Bund or German Football Association). Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, commonly refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the firm control of the totalitarian and fascist ideology of the Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as dictator. ... 1933 (MCMXXXIII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1945 (MCMXLV) was a common year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...

After World War II, all existing sports clubs and other organizations were banned by the Allied occupation authorities in an attempt to create a disconnect from the recent Nazi past. In early 1946, the club was re-constitued as SG Friedrichstadt and then slipped into oblivion after a fateful appearance in the 1950 East German final. That match, against Soviet-sponsored Horch Zwickau, would be the end of the side which was regarded as being to bourgeoisie by the communist authorities. Zwickau played a viciously physical game and, abetted by the referee who refused the homeside substitutions and eventually reduced Friedrichstadt to an 8-man squad, "won" the match (5:1). Unhappy Dresdner/Friedrichstadt fans invaded the field several times, and at game's end, badly beat a Zwickau player. Mounted police were called in to restore order. Within weeks, orders came to dismantle the club and send the players to BSG Tabak Dresden. Most of the players instead fled to the west to play for Hertha Berlin. What happened to Dresdner/Friedrichstadt would become commonplace in East Germany as highly placed politicians or bureaucrats manipulated clubs for their own purposes.

At this point the history of the club becomes quite convoluted with a number of sides laying claim to some part of the heritage of Dresdner SC:

• Local side Volkspolizei Dresden, founded in 1948, was groomed as an ideologically safe "replacement" for the city's loss of their favoured team. The team was assembled using seventeen players plucked from eleven other clubs, the bulk of that number coming from SG Mickten. By the 1952-53 season the club was known as Dynamo Dresden and would go on to become one of East Germany's best teams. Unfortunately, they ran-afoul of Stasi-sponsored BFC Dynamo Berlin. While they had only limited opportunity to challenge on fair terms for the national championship, they did become the country's most successful side internationally. The club struggled after German re-unification in 1990, but recovered themselves sufficiently to earn a place in 2.Bundesliga where they currently play as 1.FC Dynamo Dresden.

• What was left of SG Michten, formed in 1947, was merged with BSG Sachsenverlag Dresden in 1950 and then went through a number of other mergers and name changes: BSG Rotation Dresden (1951-1954); SC Einheit Dresden (1954-1965); FSV Lokomotive Dresden (1966-1990); and finally, in 1990, Dresdner SC 1898.

• BSG Tabak Dresden was a descendant of Dresdner SV 1910 which had taken in the players of the local sides of Striesen, Blasewitz, Tolkewitz und Laubegast at the behest of the Nazi sport authorities in 1933. The side was re-formed as SG Striesen after the war in 1945 and played as ZSG Nagema Dresden in 1948 and 1949. The side then became Tabak, where the players of Dresdner/Friedrichstadt were officially directed after the farce of the 1950 final against Zwickau. The club SG Dresden Striesen emerged out of it all in June of 1991.

• Another thread of the current incarnation of Dresdner SC can be traced back to the Gauliga side Dresdner Sportfreunde, itself built out of the forced pre-war merger of a number of local sides. After World War II, that club was re-formed as SG Pieschen and then went through a its own confusing series of unions with other clubs during the 50s. In 1966, the football side of the club emerged as FSV Lokomotiv Dresden.

The "new" Dresden SC was formed at the time of German re-unification, begnning play in the 1991-92 season. Since then, the club has played primarily as a tier III or IV side, but has slipped to Landesliga Sachsen (V) in the current season. 1948 (MCMXLVIII) is a leap year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ...
