    The museum is very worth seeing! The so-called "historical trip" is also interesting. It starts at Peenemünde Airport. Areas that are in the restricted area are shown: the test stand VII, from where the first rocket in the world flew into space, launch sites of the VI and much more.

      The small village of Peenemünde in the north of Usedom is today probably the best-known place on the island internationally. Between 1936 and 1945, the Peenemünde Army Research Institute, one of the most modern technology centers of the time, was built here. Here, in 1942, under the scientific leadership of Wernher von Braun, one of the most spectacular and at the same time most dangerous technical breakthroughs of the 20th century was achieved - the world's first launch of a rocket into space.
      The rocket was designed as a terrorist weapon for the warring Nazi state and the research in Peenemünde served the sole aim of military superiority. Thousands of people lost their lives in the use of forced laborers, concentration camp prisoners and prisoners of war during the construction of the test centers and the production of the rocket now known as “Retribution Weapon 2” in an underground factory in the Harz Mountains, as well as in the shelling of Belgian, English and French cities.

        The museum is well worth seeing!
        The so-called “Historical Trip” is also interesting. It begins at Peenemünde Airport. Areas that are in the restricted area are shown, e.g. B. Test Stand VII, from where the world's first rocket flew into space. Also starting points for the V1 and much more.
