The defense of Westerplatte went down in history thanks to the heroism of 216 Polish soldiers attacked by over 2,500 Germans. Attacked from the air by Stukas, shelled from the sea by the battleship Schleswig-Holstein, as well as by artillery and heavy machine guns, they lasted seven long days, inflicting heavy losses on the attackers.
