1939: BATTLE OF WESTERPLATTE (15) 2012 POLAND CHOCHLEW, PAWEL £15.99
Film charts the conflict between two Polish officers in charge at the
Battle of Westerplatte, the first clash between Polish and German forces
in WWII. At the outbreak of war in 1939, the small garrison of soldiers
defending the Polish Military Transit Depot on the Westerplatte
peninsula, find themselves outnumbered when the German Army mount a
surprise attack. Resisting heroically for 12 days against overwhelming
odds, Major Henryk Sucharski (Michal Zebrowski) soon finds himself
facing a dilemma: follow the romantic wishes of his superior officer
Captain Francis Dabrowski (Robert Zoledziewski) and vow to fight on,
thereby condemning his badly wounded men to die for their country; or
commit the unthinkable act of surrendering themselves with honour to
their German oppressors.
