From the 9th to the 24th In May, the man from Moselle and Rhine was used in four hard games against Everton in Hamburg, Duisburg, Frankfurt and Nuremberg and was able to convince not only with two goals.
Nerz then invited him to the final three-week course in July and nominated the still 19-year-old without international experience for the Olympic football tournament in August 1936 in Berlin.
March 1938 in Austria, the game was far more important than just that of a usual international match, especially since the Football World Cup was already held in France three months later in June 1938.
May 1938 in Berlin against England, coach Herberger competed almost completely with the "Breslau-Elf", only Gauchel for Siffling and Pesser for Urban he took new to the team.

FC Köln the DFB Cup 1953/54 Rudi Gutendorf[3] remembers the player and coach "Jupp" Gauchel in Werner Skrentny's book about the Südwest Oberliga with the following words: The then Reich coach Professor Nerz and his assistant Sepp Herberger called my role model, the Neuendorf Jupp Gauchel, to the national team in 1936.
[...] When Jupp Gauchel was nominated for the national team, I was ten years old, and his vocation had a great influence on my life path.
I can't say in words what excitement gripped me when I entered the stadium with national player Gauchel, who played next to me in the half-right position, where there were almost 15,000 spectators.
[...] It was particularly valuable to me, and this should be for every active person in his first games, that I could play next to an understanding comrade like Jupp Gauchel, who eliminates the mistakes that you inevitably make as a beginner through his experience and skills and "serve" a ball that he could have booked just as well as his success.
I was firmly convinced that it was the best training, took notes and scribbled sketches into a blue dime school booklet, which I still keep today like a relic.
