Description

Discover the great resistance of Gdansk during the invasion of Poland on this World War II tour, during which you'll learn about the most epic efforts of the Polish community.

Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance to the World War II Museum and begin our World War II tour of Gdansk.

First of all, we'll visit the spectacular museum to learn about the ties this conflict had with the city of Gdansk, and its permanent exhibition will serve as an introduction to everything we're about to see on the rest of the tour.

Afterward, we'll return to the historic center and stop in front of the Polish Post Office, where the workers, with the help of the police, defended the building for 15 hours against the attacks of the SS Heimwehr unit. Polish survivors were sentenced to death after this bloody episode.

We'll also learn about the defense of the shipyard against the German squadron and how the Jewish synagogue was destroyed on the Night of Broken Glass in 1938. Did you know that the city of Gdansk was awarded the 2019 Princess of Asturias Award for Concord?

The World War II tour will conclude at the meeting point after 3.5 hours.

Fue un tour maravilloso y el guía Mariusz mucho más! Se nos hizo corto el tour de lo que nos gusto, Mariusz nos contó todo de una manera interesante y clara, sin duda hizo del tour algo genial, con un conocimiento de la historia muy alto. Repetiríamos este tour sin dudarlo ya que pudimos observar y estar presentes físicamente en el lugar donde estuvieron combatiendo los soldados polacos contra los alemanes, estuvimos recorriendo parte de la historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nos encanto!!
