People lay a wreath at the monument to the 1939 heroic defense of the Westerplatte peninsula outpost during solemn observances of the 85th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, at Westerplatte, on the Baltic Sea, Poland, on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024. Attacked by a German Nazi warship in the small hours on Sept. 1, 1939, the Westerplatte military outpost was supposed to hold out for 24 hours, but its soldiers put up resistance to the Germans for seven days.
