Peenemünde

Peenemünde is a village in the northeast of the German (Western) part of Usedom island. It stands near the mouth(s) of the Peene river, on the westmost edge of a long sand-spit on the German Baltic coast. In 1937 the Army Research Center Peenemünde was founded and established as one of five military proving grounds under the Army Weapons Office which experimented and developed Germany's missile program which developed the V2 Rocket, the very first ballistic missile. By the end of World War II, the Peenemünde was ordered to be destroyed in which only 75% of the facility were wrecked.
