Jak poprawnie wymawiać tę nazwę?”, in Obcy język polski‎[1] (in Polish), retrieved 2024-04-21: “A zatem także Westerplatte musi być wymawiane jako [Westerplate] z akcentem na sylabie przedostatniej, choć można też kłaść przycisk na sylabę początkową [Wes-ter-pla-te]. ― Hence, Westerplatte, too, must be pronounced [Westerplate], with the stress on the penultimate syllable, although one can also put the stress on the initial syllable of [Wes-ter-pla-te].”
