Hamburg Red Light District - 1950's

With the coming of Oktoberfest, (and in response to the above mentioned film As We Like It), let us reminisce of beer celebrations held nightly during the 1950's and '60's in the Teutonic hamlet of Hamburg.

A phenomena that grew from a chronically disaffected population of post-war Germany, you may never see so many irretrievably plastered people in one place at one time ever again.

It is in the legendary Rathskellers of Hamburg that the early Beatles honed their craft and showmanship before they broke big in the early 1960's, grinding away in multiple sets-per-night while fueled on copious amounts of beer and cheap speed.

they were in a state of shock after the war and woke up, snapped back into reality, and realized the madness of what happened and needed the escape of drinking every night. i would've become an alcoholic too.

To be fair, alot of people in those video's would have lost loved ones during the war, no wonder they drowned their sorrows big time.

theyre just sore 'cause the lost the war. Fucking shitbags. That's what happens when you follow one man's word blindly.

@mrceebees14 if you watched your mother getting raped by thousands of russians who look like mr.burns with weight, you would be ugly.

Thanks for putting this on. I have had trouble find information about what post war Germany was really like. This fly on the wall docu really portrays what the Germans went through under the Third Reich. Its not a glossed up Hollywood style adaption for public release.

This is a remarkable document of post war Germany & the psychic shock a whole people can experience. Americans would do well to understand this is a universal risk.
