The Battle of Westerplatte began on September 1, 1939, when German forces attacked a small Polish Military Transit Depot on a peninsula outside Danzig — the opening engagement of the Second World War. The 182-man garrison, under Major Henryk Sucharski, was expected to hold for twelve hours. They held for seven days.
Poland has commemorated Westerplatte extensively since the communist period, when the site was instrumentalized as a secular national shrine.
