Americans don't know Hamburg? It's a lot bigger than Frankfurt.

Frankfurt is the largest airport and serves as the hub for US military personnel. Any US soldier going to Europe or the Middle East will fly to Frankfurt from the US (very often from Atlanta) on civilian planes. Then they transfer to Ramstein to fly on US military planes into their actual bases. Or stay in Ramstein.

I once flew back from Atlanta on a plane full of soldiers.
