There are problems with this scenario: it cannot be set-up using the standard terrain tiles of Memoir '44 and the selected extensions. There are too many terrains of one or more types. Please contact the author.

Historical Background:
On September 1, 1939, at 0448 local time, Germany began its invasion of Poland, starting World War II. The Schleswig-Holstein suddenly opened broadside salvo fire on the Polish garrison of the Polish Military Transit Depot on the peninsula of the Westerplatte, in the harbour of the Free City of Danzig.
Eight minutes later, a crack marines storm unit from the Schleswig-Holstein advanced in three platoons while the Wehrmacht's Pioneers blew up the railroad gate going on the land-bridge, expecting an easy victory over the surprised Poles. However, the attackers suddenly came into a well-prepared ambush. German soldiers found themselves caught in a kill zone of Polish crossfire from concealed firing points while barbed wire entanglements effectively blocked quick movements.
The Poles held out for seven days in the face of a heavy attack although they were only supposed to hold out for twelve hours. The defense of the Westerplatte served as an inspiration for the Polish Army and today is still regarded as a symbol of resistance to the invasion. The site is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
