Tommy Gambino, Funny name for an Englishman. You read a lot a books, do ya mate?
Well, in 1964 when the Beatles came here from England, some reporters asked
John Lennon " What was it like growing up in Liverpool?"
Lennon replied " Oh, we're not from Liverpool, didn't you hear, We're from Hamburg. "
Based upon this information that I read, I'll go with the fact that the Beatles were from Germany.
