About On the morning of 1 Mp3 Sound Effect
On the morning of 1 September 1939, mere minutes after the Luftwaffe began bombing Wieluń, the German battleship SMS Schleswig‑Holstein, anchored under the guise of a courtesy visit in the port of Gdańsk, suddenly opened fire at 04:48 on the Polish Military Transit Depot at Westerplatte, marking one of the first shots of World War II. This bombardment signaled the start of the Battle of Westerplatte, often regarded as the opening ground engagement of the invasion of Poland. German naval infantry disembarked to assault the peninsula, expecting to capture the depot quickly. However, their advance was met with a fierce, well-coordinated Polish defense. The defenders—comprising roughly 182–240 soldiers, equipped with field guns, anti-tank guns, mortars, and machine guns—ambushed the attackers with crossfire, mortars, and heavy machine‑gun fire, repelling multiple assaults throughout the day. Despite being vastly outnumbered and isolated, the Polish garrison held out for seven days, repelling repeated German attacks supported by naval shelling, artillery, and dive-bomber raids. Major Henryk Sucharski led the defense until eventually surrendering on 7 September, at which point the German commander allowed him to retain his saber as a mark of respect. The defense of Westerplatte became a powerful symbol of courage and resistance, inspiring the Polish people during the darkest early days of the war. Sources: 1.
