Hi DBader,

I've been there a couple of years back. I thought it to be kind of spooky - ruins and abandoned GDR relics, some A4 rocket replicas, a small museum in some machine houses showing various third Reich and Socialist machinery, some MiGs, Sukhois and Mils (from the adjacent airfield that served as a NVA air force base) parked in no particular order, a Russian Oka S-boat in the harbour, and a Soviet U-boat anchored nearby but not part of the museum. A big coal dump near the power plant which I figured must have been used by the NVA for a long time after the war. Somewhat bizarre ruins of the liquid oxygen plant nearby, but not accessible. Barracks-style housing near the main complex, and the terminal of a shuttle train built in WW2 (or before?) to carry workers and engineers to Peenemünde back then, which carries tourists there today, using 1960s' Diesel railcars. The south fork of the same railway lines uses futuristic liquid gas-powered multiple units ...
Regards,
