An amazing Documeny and Story.
The Schleswig-Holstein's Log Book, handwritten by Kapitain zur See, Gustav Kleikamp.

Battle Scenes :
*- Photo taken from the deck of the Schleswig-Holstein as it was moored in its position in Five Toots Curve from wich the firing took place. Later the S-H moved farther downstream for a better aiming visibility. Distant shore is that of the Westerplatte target.
*- Westerplatte aflame, as seen from the Neufahwasser site of the Vistula.
*- German troops penetrating the Westerplatte following the capitulation in September 1939.
Neufahwasser is in background. Some buildings were flattened by the concussion of the S-H's 23 cm big guns.
