Frankfurt am Main

[Mannheim]

I am in Frankfurt am Main for eight days. Can anyone recommend anything I should be looking at as an enthusiast of our particular area of interest, i.e. Axis History?

Thanks, CraigM. I should've mentioned "apart from Geoff's site..." Cheers!

I never did make it inside the Frankfurt Festhalle (except for a Led Zeppelin concert in 1980), and I always wondered if the interior still looks anything like it did when rallies were held there in the 1930s and 40s.

I'm a tad older than you, Geoff, (I saw Led Zep in Sydney in 1970) but not old enough to remember what the rallies were like inside the Frankfurt Festhalle in the 1930s and 1940s. Nevertheless, I'll try and get inside to have a look and maybe get a photo or two. Cheers!
