Defenders of the Polish Post Office Monument in Gdańsk, War memorial at plac Obrońców Poczty Polskiej, Gdańsk, Poland.
The stainless steel monument presents a fallen postal worker receiving a rifle from Nike, the goddess of victory, in a powerful composition.
The monument commemorates 57 postal workers who defended their office against German forces for 15 hours on September 1st, 1939.
This 1979 monument reflects the Communist-era artistic expression while preserving the memory of Polish resistance at the start of World War II.

The memorial incorporates symbolic elements of birds and an angel figure, representing both defeat and spiritual victory in metal construction.
