A small museum on Westerplatte adding further colour to the events of September 1939, housed inside the former Guardhouse from which the strategic defence of Westerplatte was conducted (albeit in a different location from where it originally stood). The two shells outside were fired from the SMS Schleswig-Holstein during the attack. The guardhouse is just a few small rooms so viewing the exhibition won't take long, but there are some interesting exhibits including equipment, uniforms and weapons from the time.
Guardhouse no 1. at Westerplatte in Gdańsk, Poland.
