the liner Wilhelm Gustloff was evacuating German refugees and troops ahead of the Russian advance in the Baltic in 1945.....
" When the ship sank, people estimated around 6000 people were on board, the post war German military later raised this to 8000 and a survivor estimated 9000. What is known is that only 996 people were rescued. "
