Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This work aims to present a comprehensive overview of the activities of the Luftwaffe (the second branch of the Wehrmacht) on the island of Usedom from 1936 to 1945.

  • The organization and operation of airfields on Usedom.
  • The development and testing of various aircraft and weapon systems at Peenemünde-West.
  • The role of the Luftwaffe in naval operations in the Usedom area.
  • The impact of the war on the island's infrastructure and civilian population (with specific reference to the concentration camp labor camp).
  • The remaining traces of Luftwaffe activity on Usedom today.
