On 4 July 1954 in Bern, West Germany stunned favourites Hungary 3-2 in the World Cup final, an upset Germans call the Wunder von Bern. Radio reporter Herbert Zimmermann's emotional sign-off, with his repeated 'Aus' and the roaring crowd behind him, became the most quoted German sports commentary ever. Clips of it resurfaced on television retrospectives and later spread online, where fans replay it during World Cups and victory celebrations as shorthand for an impossible triumph.
