Soviet Military Administration in Germany
Like most organizations in Germany, including football and sports clubs, "Cricket Viktoria" was disbanded in 1945 by the Soviet Military Administration in Germany at the end of World War II. Late in the year the formation of new clubs was permitted and many former players joined "SG (Sportgruppe) Magdeburg-Altstadt". Others, such as future star Ernst "Anti" Kümmel joined "SG Sudenburg", which would soon become "1. FC Magdeburg".
