Extraordinary discovery. Is this the defender of Westerplatte Mieczysław Krzak?
During archaeological supervision for the construction of the Westerplatte Museum, human skeletal remains were discovered, believed to belong to a Polish soldier missing for five years. The remains were found alongside military artifacts, including buttons and a bayonet, suggesting a connection to Polish forces. Archaeologists suspect the skeleton may belong to Mieczysław Krzak, a soldier who died defending Westerplatte in 1939. Ongoing excavations aim to confirm the identity through genetic testing. This discovery could lead to the identification of more fallen defenders, as efforts continue to ensure they receive proper burial.
