The 1941 German football championship, the 34th edition of the competition, was won by SK Rapid Wien, the club's sole German championship. Rapid, which had previously won twelve Austrian football championships between 1911 and 1938 as well as the 1938 German Cup, won the competition by defeating Schalke 04 4–3 in the final.[1][2][3] The final was held on 22 June 1941, the same day Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa.[4]
