WWII Aircraft Museums

[acascoman]

Anyone know if there is a WWII aviation museum in Germany? I am in Ramstein until 9 October and have a three day weekend in which I was hoping to find a few WWII museums. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Should help a little, couldn't see any that close (Frankfurt/Stuttgart). I'm sure a native German could help better than myself.

the biggest is in Berlin,have a look at this side:
Foerderverein des Luftwaffenmuseums der Bundeswehr Berlin Gatow - Home

In case you are posted in Ramstein, contact the German delegation to CC Air

You have:

Luftwaffe Museum near Berlin (includes a Me 163, Me 262 and Bf 109G)
Sinsheim (has a really nice collection of WW2 aircraft, tanks and equipment including Bf 109G, Fw 190A, He 111 and Ju 88 and a Ju 87 wreck)
Speyer (same as above, is actually an annex of the Sinsheim museum)
Deutsches Museum (some really nice aircraft including a Me 262 and Me 163 and Bf 109E)
Oberschleissheim (Includes He 111 and Do 24)

I can get you links to the museums tonight when I am off of work.
