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".
If your going to Vimy Ridge you might as well hit Flanders as well. Only an hour drive. Really good museum in Ypres and the monument at St. Julien is a must see.

Vimy Ridge will absolutely blow you away. I have tried to describe what it is like to dozens of people along with showing pictures and it still doesn't do it justice. It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life.
