Error edit
Text says there was "120 mm" refector. Isn't that "120 cm"?
- Yes, my mistake - correcting now. Thanks.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
About 3 September edit
In text: "Hel coastal batteries damaged a German destroyer on 3 September". Is it right? I found information, that on 3 September german destroyer "Lebereht Maass" was damaged by polish destroyer ORP Wicher, not by coastal batteries. Ingwar JR 11:40, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- The sources are confusing, there are also claim that it was ORP Gryf that scored the hit. Nonetheless we have inline reference for the defenders in general. Do you have references to the contrary?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 14:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm... At first I was based on one book, where was information, that "Lebereht Maass" was damaged by ORP Wicher. But I found some new information here (in russian). In short: Gunther Lutjens (commander of german destroyers) thought, that "Leberecht Maass" was damaged by 150-mm gun of coastal battery (polish ships had no such calibre). But de:Friedrich Ruge (in 1939 he was commander of minesweeper forces), visited "Leberecht Maass" after battle, confirm, that destroyer was damaged not more, then by 120-mm gun (ORP "Gryf"). So, I think, the best way is to write "Hel defenders...", as you did. Ingwar JR 02:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Poor air defenses edit
The article states: "Likewise the Region's air defense batteries were too few and too light to deter the enemy..." They nevertheless managed to knock down 46–53 German aircraft. Perhaps we should just delete the contradictory passage cited above? Nihil novi (talk) 12:36, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- I think the argument is that the air defenses were under strength (but nonetheless they did very well). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
