Hi my grandfather is from Gdansk Poland and he told me how the war began:

September 1st 1939 on 4.43 AM, Gustav Kleikamp, captain of the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein, ordered the attack on Westerplatte (Gdansk, Poland). A few minutes later, stationed in the Gulf of Gdansk (Poland) German battleship makes the first salvo in the direction of Polish ammunition depot on Westerplatte. World War II began, war which cost the lives of 62 million people.

However, according to some historians, it is not at Westerplatte, but in Wielun (Lodz province, Poland) started the war. Three minutes before attack on Westerplatte, over the Wielunia peninsula, German bombers appeared, leveling to the ground 75 percent of the city land in which there was no military installations.
