Poland's President Bronislaw Komorowski, right, and his German counterpart Joachim Gauck take part in a ceremony marking 75 years since World War II started, at Westerplatte in Gdansk, Poland, Monday Sept. 1, 2014. Some of the first shots of World War II were fired on Sept. 1, 1939 by an attacking Nazi German warship on Westerplatte, a Polish munitions depot that held off for many days. More than five years of brutal, global war followed, taking the lives of tens of millions of people. (AP Photo/Czarek Sokolowski)
