John Lennon in Verden: An unforgettable shoot with the Beatles!

Verden, Deutschland - John Lennon, the legendary Beatle, came to Verden in September 1966 to make scenes for the anti-war film "How I won the war". During this filming, the then 14-year-old Harry Schwertner met his idol. He had learned from his father that was filmed in the city and quickly flipped the school to see Lennon. He was overwhelmed when he actually met the world star and could get two autographs, as in a report by Kreiszeitung

A new book awakens memories

Schwertner, the co-founder of the Beatles regulars' table in Verden, published a book with the title "John Lennon-a Beatle in Verden" together with Gerd Coordes. This not only documents Schwertner's personal Moment with Lennon, but also captures comprehensive memories of other contemporary witnesses. The first copies of the book are already out of print and a second edition is planned to be released next spring. The film itself is described as not particularly outstanding, but has achieved a certain cult status through Lennon's participation, as loud

In the city of Verden, the announcement of the book is celebrated as an exciting novelty. The commitment of Schwertner and Coordes is highly valued because it brings the rare anecdotes around Lennon's stay to light and thus enriches local music culture. Plans for the presentation of this documentation are already in the Mache, in which an English translation is also to be offered.
