Meet the Defenders of Westerplatte

Meet the Defenders of Westerplatte

In autumn 2019, a team of archaeologists from the Museum of the Second World War found the remains of nine defenders of Westerplatte.


Thanks to cooperation by the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk with the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin and the Departmental Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation of the Institute of National Remembrance in Gdańsk, to date seven of the fallen defenders of Westerplatte have been identified. They will soon be buried with dignity at the new military cemetery on Westerplatte.


We encourage you to watch the video materials presenting their profiles.
