In 1939, Germany started World War II by invading Poland. The first in the long line of battles to come was the battle of Westerplatte, which saw a small Polish force heroically fend off the invaders for a week.

Below are the main sources I used.

These are from the Westerplatte Museum's official website. Some of these are in Polish but are easily translated in browser.

Wikipedia, as always for cursory research

The Osprey publication on the German invasion of Poland has a little info as well. The book "Great Battles of World War II" published by Parragon has some information as well, but some of it contradicts other sources, so I find it less reliable.

When sources conflicted, I trusted the official Westerplatte museum sources above others.
