The Battle of Westerplatte was an brief battle between the pre-dreadnaught battleship Schelwig-Holstein and the Polish and Novan garrison that occupied the city. The battle occured on September 1, 1939 after the Invasion of Poland was intiated by Hitler. The Schelwig-Holstein opened fired on the Polish garrison, but suddenly disappeared after an Novan warships latched onto the sides of the cruiser and fired its high-energy beam into the magazine of the cruiser, effectively killing most of the crew, and shook the harbor. When an Polish Search and Rescue Team was sent out, they discovered more than two survivors, who were later taken to an POW camp for the remainder of the war until the end of 1940.
