Don't sell people bullshit like this in the article. Do you know word "propaganda"? Sucharski national hero should be remember like a coward. Read some facts and know that he was the one who encourage soldiers to fight.

That's true. Major Sucharski wasn't any hero. Its soldiers were. Some polish books wrote that. Apparently, according to witnesses - some polish Westerplatte veterans - major Sucharski has break down and his officers had to support him. Finally they opposed to surrender. --Matrek (talk) 23:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pyrrhic victory

As I stated in my edit summary, estimated total casualties of around 3-400 men, out of a force of several thousand (when including naval participants, etc., not just the 3,500 ground troops) is definitely not a pyrrhic victory. It has therefore been removed. Parsecboy (talk) 04:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
