World War II
In interwar period, Szymankowo was in the territory of Free City of Danzig. Hours before the German invasion of Poland and World War II, on September 1, 1939, the Germans sent two trains with soldiers to capture bridges at Tczew, disguised as freight trains. Polish railroaders on Szymankowo station directed the first train to a blind track, halting the assault. In revenge, local Germans SA units murdered 23 Poles, including railmen, customs officers and their families, including one pregnant woman, at the local train station.[1]
