No Hamburg No Beatles plot
The Beatles’ long and winding road to worldwide fame began in Hamburg, Germany in the early 1960s. Just a few years before they became household names, the former band “Quarrymen” were playing their musical acts on the stages of Hamburg’s nightclubs. In the 15 years following the end of World War II, Hamburg had become the moral capital of Europe. Its neon-lit streets were home to sailors, prostitutes, drug dealers, gangs, and the low life. The group was still in its infancy. At the time of their first Hamburg adventure, George Harrison was only 17 years old. They were all still very young men, and their group was virtually unknown. By the time of their last German visit in 1966, the Beatles were a worldwide phenomenon.
