The Swing Boys

September 2, 2013

In the 1930s, Hamburg was a bastion of swing. Like many young people at the time. Heinrich Dringelburg was crazy about this US import, and became what was known as a "Swing Boy". But when the Nazis came to power in 1933, swing was banned and many of its devotees arrested, including Heinrich Dringelburg.
