I'm leaving for Europe in a week. I'll be gone for a little over a month. As someone who is very interested in the history of the World Wars, I want to make sure I don't miss something.

I plan on seeing (in no particular order) Normandy, Dieppe, Vimy Ridge, Hitlers Eagles Nest, Berlin etc. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

I'd hate to miss a "must see".

Last time in France we saw a very interesting war museum near Verdun.
