re: #58 Anymouse

I toured the Polish Post Office Museum in Gdansk (the original building is still there, and there is still a post office branch there). The weapons they used (basically rifles and grenades) are on display.

The postal workers fought off a division of the Wehrmacht, local Nazi formations, and even a frekin’ pocket battleship for the better part of a day.

Today the site has a memorial to the postal workers and others who stood their ground against overwhelming odds.

Thank you for that. Only 1 minor quibble: Schleswig-Holstein was a pre-Dreadnought battleship, not a pocket battleship. She actually mounted two fewer 11-inch guns than did the pocket battleships.
