Summary

Description

80 years ago, German soldiers and 'Landespolizisten' (border police) of the Free City of Danzig remove the Polish border crossing in Sopot, September 14, 1939, as a reenacment of the same event on September 1. The day the invasion began, resistance was offered by the Polish 2nd Maritime Rifle Regiment in the crossing at Sopot. The following weeks of suffering would become months and eventually years as a new kind of war turned to evolve in one of the cruelest events in Human history.
