WW2 sites inside Germany
If I was to travel from Dusseldorf to Peenemuende, other than Berlin, what would be the best WW2 museums or locations to visit?

It's about 56 miles of-route but if you have the chance you could visit the Liberty Park at Overloon (the Netherlands, so feel free to visit me).

On your travel route I would also recommend the:
- Panzermuseum Munster
- Concentration Camp Neuengamme

The Wewelsburg, near Paderborn, would be on your route too. Today it is a local museum annex youth hostel and next to nothing reminds any visitor of what it was in the Nazi-era...........apart from the magnificent castle itself of course .
Also more or less on your route is the Dora Mittelwerke near Nordhausen. Haven't been there myself but when Peenemünde is your endgoal I assume Dora would be of interest ot you due to its connection with the V-2.
