Greifswald in Worldwar
The German city of Greifswald was quite close to the base of the Reich Rocket Force in Peenemunde. Therefore, many officers and pilots had their families living in the city.

Due to the city's proximity to the RRS base, Greifswald was a target for nuclear bombing by the Race during the Race-German War of 1965.
