Munich is great. I would recommend Munich. There are plenty of day trips to see castles from Munich. Berlin has more WWII sights but Munich is a much more interesting city. Salzburg is beautiful also. My first choice would be Munich.

Depends on your priority. Go to Berlin for the lots of WWII and Cold War sites and museums. It's also a wonderful city full of lots of other attractions.
Go to Salzburg if you want a small city with charm and romance.
Go to Munich if you want a medium city with a nice combination of charm, romance, and "big" city life.

Been to all three and I would go to Berlin.
More History here.
If you want a Palace you can visit Charlottenburg Palace and Museum Island.
If you want Museums and Palaces in Munich and see
Nymphenburg Palace and Grounds
and the Residenz.
But actually you cannot go wrong with either choice.

Is this part of a bigger trip, or are you just flying within Europe to one of these three cities? I'd take Salzburg off the list. It has (for me) little to offer those interested in WWII. It will certainly be cold in all of these places.
If you want to see a concentration camp, then you have choices from either Berlin or Munich, with Dachau being much more accessible from Munich than Sachsenhausen is from Berlin. But I do think a trip to Berchtesgaden would have been interesting to a WWII buff, though February isn't a very practical time.
There is a lot more cold war stuff in Berlin, and I think in general it does history well. There are loads of museums to visit, though not all that many directly related to WWII.
