Overview

  • Take a step back to the autumn of 1958, where the grey everyday life of the post-war period crashed into the colourful glamour of American rock 'n' roll. This audio journey takes you to the place where Private Elvis Presley set foot on European soil and turned a military logistics operation into a global media sensation. Beyond the celebrity spectacle, we uncover the hidden history of Bremerhaven as a 'Port of Embarkation' – the gateway for millions of GIs and the epicentre of the 'Fräuleinwonder'. Find out how a single soldier became a weapon in the Cold War, how the 'Lipsi' - dance couldn't stop the beat, and how this port city became a 'Little America' on the North Sea.
