Below are the main sources I used.
These are from the Westerplatte Museum’s official website. Some of these are in Polish but are easily translated in browser.

Wikipedia, as always for cursory research
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Westerplatte#battlegroundsmobileindia
The Osprey publication on the German invasion of Poland has a little info as well. The book /”Great Battles of World War II/” published by Parragon has some information as well, but some of it contradicts other sources, so I find it less reliable.
When sources conflicted, I trusted the official Westerplatte museum sources above others.
