FILE - The May 8, 2015 file photo shows Polish Navy troops standing at the foot of the monument to Polish defenders of the Westerplatte peninsula, where some of World War II's first shots were fired, during ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the war in Gdansk, Poland. A museum under creation for the past eight years, the Museum of the Second World War, was due to open in Gdansk in 2017 but its fate is threatened by the country's new nationalistic government. The government objects to its international approach and prefers a project that would focus exclusively on Westerplatte and the Polish military defense against Germany in 1939.
