I have mentioned before that one of the iconic images I have of the start of World War II is of the German pre-dreadnought battleship Schleswig-Holstein firing at the Polish fortress of Westerplatte.

What I had not realised until today was that a Polish film company had made a film about the attack on Westerplatte entitled 1939: BATTLE OF WESTERPLATTE. When I saw that a DVD of the film was on sale in a local supermarket, I felt that I had to buy it, even though the dialogue is all in Polish. (There are English subtitles.)

This is the second Polish-language film that I have bought this year (the first was BATTLE OF WARSAW) and I am looking forward to watching it after the forthcoming weekend.
