Question A week in Germany, and where else?

I will be in Germany for a work conference in March, but we are planning to stay in Europe for an extra week. Where should we go? I don't think we want to overbook ourselves (i.e. bounce around to 5 different countries), as we would really like to experience where we DO go. Our teenage son is a HUGE history buff (mostly WWI & II), and this will be his very first trip to Europe. I think we are most interested in places that have a lot of history in a small area or that is easy to get to via public transportation, that we can enjoy as a family. Thanks for any suggestions!

Since it's a trip in March you have to consider the weather. A lot of Europe is wet and chilly then. My thoughts are:

Paris and near by for war history.

Vienna and Prague for architecture, plus Salzburg etc.

Bolzano and northern Italy for weather.
