It is assumed that the Second World War began on September the 1st when armoured battleship Schleswig-Holstein fired the first artillery shots at the Polish military transit storehouse at Westerplatte peninsula which was located at the entrance to the Port of Gdansk. Today it is a memorial site with ruins of blockhouses and barracks and huge monument raised to the memory of 128 heroic Polish soldiers under the command of Major Henryk Sucharski who held off for a full week against 3500 attacking German soldiers.
