History & Trivia
Bred in 1994 by Brother Stefan Franczak in Poland. The official start of World War 2 is September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, and the first event of that invasion was the battle of Westerplatte, a peninsula in the Bay of GdaEsk (Danzig in those days). The Polish garrison there was expected to be overrun within half a day, but they held out for a little over six, by which time Warsaw was under direct assault.
