MORE ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES ON WESTERPLATTE
During archaeological supervision of the construction of the new Military Cemetery of the Polish Army on Westerplatte, archaeologists have discovered three previously unlocated bomb craters dropped by German forces on September 2nd, 1939. In one, located near the Officer's Mess, numerous items of great historical and exhibition value have been found .
The most valuable artifact is a map template, which, due to its purpose, could have belonged to only one of two people: Major Henryk Sucharski or Captain Franciszek Dąbrowski. The template - made of plastic, 10 × 14 cm in size - contains military symbols and a ruler, and was used to mark locations and movements of troops on maps and to plan future movements.
