Hi

I would like to visit WWI and WWII museums in Europe, preferably with German planes.

My main interest is aviation but I'm also interested in ground war equipment as tanks and cannons etc. used by Germany, Britain and France.

What would you recommend?

Best Regards

For aircraft?  Duxford, UK  (if you classify the UK as part of Europe  )

Hello,

In the north of France you have a V2 launch site "La coupole", (near Saint Omer town) and it's development : the space race to the moon.
You can see a 1:1 model of a V2 rocket (a V1 also)

In normandy you have many museums ("Memorial de Caen", "Bayeux", "Sainte mère église"...) which have small collections concerning planes

I'm sure if you are using google you will find dozens of very interesting sites !

Cheers

Many thanks guys! 

If I want to look at German planes the "Aviation Museum Laatzen-Hannover" seems a good place:

WWI:
Fokker E III
Fokker Dr.I
Heck Halberstadt Cl IV

WWII:
Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8
Messerchmitt Me 209 (Nachbau 1:1,8)

And there are also other interesting planes as a Sopwith F1 “Camel” and a Supermarine “Spitfire” MK XIV. 

Is there any museum in Europe with an Albatros fighter?

There's a couple of excellent museums in the south of England.....quite near me

Mrs Noakes is a teacher and regularly takes parties of children to both museums and the kids love it

I highly recommend the Musee de Normandie at Caen - it is an excellent all round representation of the Normandy Battles of 1944 and uses
video sound and music as well as classic style museum displays to tell the story from the perspectives of several of the nations involved.

This museum is also a short distance (~12km) from Juno Beach where the Canadian 3rd Division landed (puffs chest) which has a small but nice
Juno Beach Museum at Courcelles.

The food is wonderful here , and if you can rent a bicycle you can cycle from Omaha Beach through Gold Beach  through Juno Beach  and to Sword Beach along the coast
in one afternoon , and all along the way are small  memorials and remnants of the battle.
I am not negligent in not mentioning Utah - it is just a bit further around the horn and I didn't get there , so I can't
plump its virtues firsthand.

There are graveyards for all the combatant nations in the small region as well , and in terms of military understanding , nothing substitues for
a/some walks through the terrain.
