Next year 2012, we intend to travel Hull to Rotterdam then on to Peenemunde ( site of the V2 rocket testing WW2) then on to via Berlin to Auschwitz-Birkenau ( no explanation needed to what when on there in WW2), then returning to Colditz castle and back to Rotterdam over a 4 week period in August & september.
Have any other members done this trip before we need more info re campsites in Peenemunde & Auschwitz in particular please.
We like to use Camping Cheques & ASCI discount sites.
We have been to Berlin & Colditz castle before so sites are sorted there.

We did a bit of this area on out way up to Denmark this year.
Peenemunde is interesting although we only went into the visitors centre and didn't do the full tour, you can see the V2 rockets from the perimeter fence. Theres also a Russian sub you can have a look around.
We stayed at 2 stellplatz in the area, closest one was at Lutow..
its also worth travelling up to the Polish border at Swinoujscie, you can park next to the border on the German side and walk into Poland where there are loads of market stalls lining the road selling cheap stuff.
Being as you're all the way up there and presumably into WW2 stuff then its worth a trip up to Rugen Island and visiting the massive derelict 4km long eyesore of a structure built by the Nazis for convalescing soldiers near Prora. It hasn't been used since it was built apart from one of the blocks recently converted to a youth hostel, a very spooky place..

[Edit] This post was written before I realised it was posted under 'Germany Touring'. I do not know how to re-post it to Poland Touring, where it should belong.
I have read several posts about people who want to visit Auschwitz.
I believe I have a good understanding about the horrors that were enacted there.
We live about 20km from there.
My girlfriend, a Polish teacher, was required each year, as part of her job, to take her pupils there.
When I first moved here she asked if I wanted to go to
Auschwitz. My answer was a firm 'No!'

I totally agree Saddle Tramp, the Dialogue Centre is superb place to stay.
If you intend visiting Krakow whilst your within an hour of the city, I can highly recommend....
