Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It is hard to know whether the movie is a planned anti-Polish screed or an incompetently made film. Sucharski was a Virtuti Militari recipient for actions in the Bolshevik War. He is made to appear as a fool and poltroon. He was neither. This movie has little action, whereas in reality the defenders were under constant German attack. The director seems to think he is directing "Hamlet." Bloody stupid or bloody slander I cannot figure out which. It would be worse than a waste of money to buy this film. An accurate account of the Battle of Westerplatte is given by the late W.S. Kuniczak in his book "The Thousand Hour Day," a best seller for months. It should have been made into a film, but it never was. Where Pawel Chochlew got his ideas is all unknown to me. But it is effectively a slander of some of the bravest soldiers to fight in WWII. 186 defenders, the same number as the Texicans at the Alamo. And they were fired at point blank by a battleship, a brigade of Danzig SS, armored trains carrying tons of petrol for burning out the fort, etc. The bravest of the brave. And the makers of this film have slandered them all.
