Understand
Peenemünde is the birthplace of rocketry. The infamous V1 and V2-rockets were developed, tested and launched from here during WWII and the site was bombed by the allied forces. Today there is not so much left of the manufacturies, but the power plant, some rockets and a bunker is left for the visitors. After the war Peenemünde was used as a East German military base, hence there is also a lot of East German military equipment on show.
