The Beatles in Hamburg

"Mach Schau", "Ausweisskontrolle" & Rock'n'Roll

This is an idea that stems from a book I have, about the Beatles in Hamburg. It's listed on my "Credits" page, and in the "Bibliography", and it's where a great deal of the information, and some pictures, contained here is from.
I have divided up this page into various sections, including parts featuring newspaper articles. To view, simply click on a link below!

PLEASE NOTE: This part of the site is constantly under construction.

None of this would have been possible without the sources I've cited in the "Bibliography" section. They have been truly invaluable.

More to come in due course.
