Probably the Worst Attack on a Passenger carrying Ship in WW2
Was Acctually against the M.S. WILHELM GUSTLOFF a german ship ship in early 1945. Over 9000 people were crammed into a ship built to hold 1500 trying to escape the wraith of the advanceing Soviet forces. Of the refugees, a staggering four thousand are infants, children and youths on their way to promising safety in the West.
It was Topedoed by the S-13 a Soviet Submarine.
