The disproportion between the forces in the field was incredible. The Nazis bombed the peninsula from the sea and sky, advancing from the ground. Sucharski had only 200 men. But the Poles fought like lions and resisted a week. So much so that when waved the white flag German officers were shocked to see that 200 men had held the firepower of the Reich.
On September 1, 1939 is a good day for Poland. Which marks the defeat, but also marks the desire for revenge. Fate has willed that this date touches on the calendar with that of the birth of Solidarity (August 31), whose meaning is intimately linked to the September 1: redemption, desire for independence, return to the homeland. The
Westerplatte offers a way of thinking on another topic, that of German-Polish relations. Complex relationships, accomplices the aftermath of the heavy 900. Marked by misunderstandings, recriminations, clutches. But it must be said that Warsaw and Berlin, the level of dialogue, have made great strides and 89 after the Polish foreign policy has included among its priorities the good neighborly relations with Germany. Fully capture the objective. At
Westerplatte, in the small mausoleum and the graves of comrades Sucharski that he defended the assault Danzig Nazi intersect two schools, one Polish and the other German. Their teachers make them gather in front of the cemetery of the lions of Westerplatte. What a beautiful scene.
