Information centre, Peenemuende, Isle of Usedom

Cradle of space exploration or breeding ground of terror weapons and mass murder? - Peenemünde is both.

The museum tells in graphic form the story of the most spectacular, and at the same time most threatening, breakthrough of the 20th. century.

The "reprisal weapon V2" was developed in Peenemünde; its production cost the lives of tens of thousands of prisoners and as well as being a prototype military ballistic missile it was to become the forerunner of the space shot carrier rockets.
The outdoor part of the museum has exhibits of rockets, different aircraft, a helicopter and a rocket ship.
