〽️MV Wilhelm Gustloff Sinking - Dramatic Sinking (Videoclip)

- Опубліковано 25 чер 2022
- MV Wilhelm Gustloff was a German military transport ship which was sunk on 30 January 1945 by Soviet submarine S-13. 9,400 people died, making it the largest loss of life in a single ship sinking in history.
Originally constructed as a cruise ship for the Nazi Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude) organization in 1937, Wilhelm Gustloff had been requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine (German navy) in 1939. She served as a hospital ship in 1939 and 1940. She was then assigned as a floating barracks for naval personnel in Gotenhafen before being fitted with anti-aircraft guns and put into service to transport evacuees in 1945.

The reason this tragedy is not as recognized as the titanic, is because the Titanic was the center of attention that year, nothing was really going on and the boom, the worlds biggest ship sinks. This ship sank during ww2, where way more things happened, with some of the most recognizable battles in history such as dday and the battle for Stalingrad happening.
I agree.
Also "We sunk a ship with 10,000 civilians onboard" doesn't sound good for the allies.
@@toranziancentralnetwork Yeah that aswell💀
@toranziancentralnetwork We ate applying 'modern' thinking to a 78 year old situation. Putting it succinctly, the Soviets were out for retribution in response to what the German Nazis had done to Mother Russian and her peoples.
@@JayYoung-ro3vu it's not modern morals or anything that's just what the allies did, they censored it.
The Titanic is remembered, the Wilhelm Gustloff is ignored, nearly 10,000 men, women and children died on that ship, some 1,500 on the Titanic.
Because the winning side isn't going to tout its war crimes. Both sides committed war crimes tho you can argue Germany and Japan did it more commonly but the winning side of wars isn't going to just go " Yeah we did war crimes lets put our commanders of trial along with the rest".
@@Whatatwist2009 it was the commies that did it seeking revenge is my guess they didnt care if it was a civilian ship
Nazis on the Wilhelm, so 🤷♂️
@@Whatatwist2009 This was not a war crime. Under international law, the ship was a legitimate target. "As Wilhelm Gustloff had been fitted with anti-aircraft guns, and the Germans did not mark her as a hospital ship, no notification of her operating in a hospital capacity had been given and, as she was transporting military personnel, she did not have any protection as a hospital ship under international accords". A terrible tragedy, certainly, but NOT a war crime
@@mastercontrol469 what about the civillians dummy
If you combined the casualties of the SS Sultana, SS Atlantic, SS Arctic, RMS Titanic, RMS Empress of Ireland, RMS Lusitania, HMHS Britannic, and the Halifax Explosion (deadliest explosion before the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima), it would be equal to the Wilhelm Gustloff.
Eric Braeden (You may remember him as his portrayal of John Jacob Astor IV from the 1997 movie "Titanic" and on "The Young and the Restless"), was a survivor on board this ship.
I am literally watching a scene with him on the young and restless-NEVER KNEW THIS
I Don’t Get It.
You may combine all the casaulties from shipwrecks you mentioned, or you may just take casaulties from hospital vessel "Armenia". She was sunk by german aviation 8 november 1941. Approximately 7000-10000 wounded soldiers and civilian refugees from Crimea were on board. Only 8(eight) survived.
@@Sergey_Sukhov FINALLY!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIS!!!
@@Sergey_Sukhov About 5000 died, at the sinking of the Armenia!
Any ship carrying military equipment, personal, is a fair game for the enemy!
Gustloff also carried 900 military personnel returning from training for the new Type 21 submarine.
Much more of a horrific tragedy than the Titanic , but yet not as known ! Very sad story .
Titanic happened during peacetime. Know your history.
true.
Bravo Marinesco !
Nobody remembers them because they were on the losing side of the war and nobody cares about the losing side. The victors write the history books.
@@mathewm7136 The guy's point still stands? It was a disaster that far exceeded Titanic's casualty rate. Many people only know about the Titanic disaster; they are the ones who don't know their history
The scene with the people stuck in the enclosed promenade are makes everything so much worse. To know this actually happened and peopl really died like that. We will remember those who died onboard.
After I said promenade it says are, I meant to say area
I don't even think the worst bit was the sinking, I feel the worst bit was being stranded in the middle of the freezing Baltic destined to die a cold death.
@@toranziancentralnetwork not just the people stranded in the Baltic sea but the thousands trapped inside the rapidly flooding ship I think that must have been even worse those in the sea had a slightly better chance of survival.
OK thats it, I'm cancelling our cruise
@@connorredshaw7994 yea trapped, jam packed with hundreds of other people and in the pitch black in freezing cold water, brutal af.
I watched a documentary describing the fear the German civilians had for the rapidly approaching Soviet army and what those soldiers would do to them; the documentary suggested the ship was far more packed than this film portrays. Jammed together, in the dark, in a sinking ship, unable to get free. Absolute horror.
What is the name of the documentary?

Worst Maritime Disaster In WarTime considered as War Casualties more than 9000 people died
Worst Maritime Disaster in Peaceful is MV Doña Paz killed more than 4000 people this tragedy is very sad rest in peace who died on this two tragedies
Oof
In get in boats inn fell because gussloff fell too
4,300 dead in MV Doña Paz
As a Filipino, the Doña Paz incident hit me hard....
hits home. my grandma was supposed to be on this boat but somehow missed it.
Really actually that was a good choice😀
Wait realy so your 70 years old now cause wilhelm gustloff sunk many years ago😂
@@AikenJeffT_T lol what?
@@AikenJeffT_T ?
@@AikenJeffT_T it's his/her grandma bro
An interesting fact: if people had not turned on the navigation (light) to drive in heavy fog, the ship would not have sunk
after all, you need to think about actions, because due to the fact that they turned on this light, 9 thousand died
@@SLS-StudioLoveSpace The Soviet Naval forces also knew that it was carrying civilians yet they still sank it. There’s also that to take into consideration
judging by your username Im also going to assume you either dont know or deny that the soviet submarine commander marinesko knew full well that the ships he was sinking both that night and the days following were chock full of civilians and posed no danger to the submarine. They were sunk out of a perceived need for revenge. It should also be noted that marinesko was demoted to lieutenant and dishonourably discharged from the military and was a heavy drinker. Not the most savvy of characters I would say. Between the Gustloff and the Steuben he killed something around 14,000 people. Most of which were civilians trying to flee the equal brutality of the red army.
so the lights being turned off make the ship float better, what great science you have. or maybe if they hadn't turned their lights on the ship wouldn't have been torpedoed? is that what you meant?
@@johnhaxby306 yes the second one is what they meant.
😢 one of my grandmas once told me that she heard explosions and the strange sounds of a sinking ship, but as a little kid she didn't know what was happening.
She asked a crew member of the refugee ship she was taken to. He didn't tell her that a ship was going down and how lucky they were that their captain had decided to stay in the shallow coastal waters
Fascist pigs. No one called you to steal land from the Slavs. You got what you deserve.
Firstly, Gustloff had 4 captains, secondly, they all wanted to save themselves
What song is this

If you think about it, the captain of S-13 was the most deadly soviet sub commander. He was alone responsible for taking the lives of 13,667 individuals (combined from the Gustloff and Steuben)
Yes, what a piece of crap creature. He must had rotten in a 2x2 metal room for the rest of his existence.
If I remember right he was awarded for this ship sinking or decades after the sinking him was given a monument
@@aka99 a monument for the murders of countless innocent men, women and children.... that's war i guess
@@infurioussYou mean Russians. Barbaric, disrespectful, terrorists.
@@aka99 i feel like if the made a monument about him then people should build Hitler monument too this is crazy
I'm fond of this particular piece of history, i didn't know there was a movie.
I thought we'd been done with Evanescence songs in UA-cam for 15 years though...
Unbelievable. if this was shown in the theaters, people would be shocked and visibly crying... like I was watching this clip. The "TITANIC" movie pales by comparison in the sinking scenes.
This was beyond tragic of nearly 9,000 men, women and children lost! 😢
It was shown in theatres
Far more than 9 thousand. Estimates up to 15k at least.
My mind can't comprehend how is 10.000 people can fit on a single ship at that size
The ship was created for around 1.900 people (staff included). But in 1945 it was jammed with over 10.000 people, most of them civilians, but also many soldiers (what made the ship a legitimate target for the Sowjet submarine, especially since it wasn't marked as a refugee ship).
It is sad to see 9,000 out of 10,000 perished in the Wilhelm Gustloff
Another example of red star nation humanity.
@@brayli86 Attacking the USSR, German troops killed 27 million people. Of these, 18 are civilians. What if it's not genocide? but who cares about that! Fucking hypocrites!
@@brayli86 You are comparing Russian humanity as being worse than German during WW2? Really!
@@brayli86 Tbf, Russia suffered the most under the german attack. The anger towards even the civilian popuation was understable. What this is a good example of is civilians, having nothing to do with that at all, fleeing from the russians in this case, being mixed in with military organisation.
@@giladpellaeon2223 I didn't say worse. Both Formations were pure evil. The worst is: there are still milions of people soaked with old system, as a result present war is raging.
Rest In Peace to all the lives that were lost in this tragedy.
Eleven days after the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, the S-13 sank another transport ship, the General Steuben, with the loss of 3,300 lives.
Yes. Both Gustloff and Steuben were Kriegsmarine auxilary ships, armed with AAA. Steuben, for exaple, shot down 10 soviet airplanes Pe-2 10.10.44 as part of anti-air defence of Libau port. Both of them were 100% military fair target, armed and escorted. Gustloff was escorted by one destroyer "Lowe", Steuben by two destroyers. It was impossible to know, that on board there were thousands of refugees. German officers, who decided to take them on board of military vessels, are complitely responsible for their deaths.
@@Sergey_Sukhov "Completely fair target"
Yeah, justifying the murder of civilians because the commies were shooting nazis seems kinda delusional to me. Two wrongs don't make a right.
@@Sergey_Sukhov The war is a crime, no matter how you try to отбеливать this scumbags. The crew of this submarine must had been put in jail forever. But of course, the winners can do all the manner of atrocities, and then hundreds of years later such amoebas like you will protect them on the public forums. What a great world we exist in.
@@Sergey_Sukhov it is still a commercial ship used for passengers and therefore its not justifiable to sink an non-warship. i don’t know from where you got your „information“ about the military usage. it’s 100% a warcrime.
@@ppjw44 at least open wikipedia - "As Wilhelm Gustloff had been fitted with anti-aircraft guns, and the Germans did not mark her as a hospital ship, no notification of her operating in a hospital capacity had been given and, as she was transporting military personnel, she did not have any protection as a hospital ship under international accords"
My great grandfather an SS officer drowned trying to save a 2 year old. When I found out I lived in the same town as her I asked about my grandfather and she broke into tears saying that that man was her adopted father and he was a kind man. A man who was deceived by Hitler. He died saving my grandmother. She died on January 30th 2015 at the age of 72. I never knew Grandpa Randolph but I wish I could’ve.
Additionally, my family didn’t even know she was a part of the family until we started doing DNA tests

This tragedy should be known more..to better understand about the humanity and clemency..
No
@@StalinKilled100MillionForJoke so you don’t care about the death of 9k or more people?
Pleas don't desecrate the memory of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff by referring to it as a cruise ship. It was a passenger liner built in the golden age of ocean travel. This was long before the likes of cruise ships started to litter the ocean.
Yes, it was a nice ship, but it was registered as a warship in the state of the German Navy, it was armed, it carried military units and weapons on its last voyage. It was an authorized military target.
@@martinnebola9586 You missed the point of my post.
@@martinnebola9586 that is hardly a warship, an armed civillian ship at best.
Allmost every freighter and ocean liner carried weapons back in ww2
@@martinnebola9586 The terms of the sinking is barbaric for a few reasons.
The Soviet Naval forces knew it was transporting civilians yet the S-13 commander still authorised the firing of torpedos upon the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, despite the fact intelligence stated it had multiple civilians on board.
There’s also the fact that the number of civilians compared to military presence.
Civilians on board outnumbered armed Wehrmacht troops and Kriegsmarine sailors 10-1. There was 4 Kriegsmarine captains on board, a couple hundred Kriegsmarine sailors, and mainly injured and exhausted Wehrmacht troops. There were many more civilians on board compared to these military “targets.” Yet the ship was still fired upon.
I draw strong parallels to the sinking of the Britannic by a German U-boat in 1916.
It was very clearly a transport ship that bared the marking of the British Red Cross, carrying injured, exhausted British soldiers. A crew of Royal Navy sailors, a bridge command crew and multiple nurses and doctors. Yet it was still torpedoed and sank (as we believe of course as there are conspiracy theories but I’m not going to delve into them.)
@@omendium2918 Now all you have to do is prove that Britanic was sunk by a U Boat. If anything, it is more in line with the sinking of the Lusitania.

Such a horrible tragedy this should be far more heard of
It would of been more well known had it not occurred during WW2
Tragedy you say? 9000 FASHISTS died at once. That was not a tragedy.
Problem is, you'll never see a mention of this disaster in World History textbooks because the publishers wants to make the Allied powers look like superheroes with capes on themselves. While the Axis powers did cause a war, yes, the Allied powers did horrible things to their enemies as well.

@@DKrueger1994 ya, it is not as well known because it was Germans dying, and being a German in the 40s basically meant (to low IQ people) you were a nazi and deserved it.
This dwarfs titanic and lusitania combined. This is so scary to even think about.
More deaths than the

Over 9400 people died
A great many of them were loyal to the nazi third riech they can rot in hell I hope they died slow painful deaths 😡
Though for the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of this brutal war may they rest in peace 😢
This event was so tragic and sad in many ways. Despite it happening in our backyard (the south Baltic sea) it is almost never talked about nor commemorated in Swedish media and/or newspapers. I can't imagine the horror the passengers must have gone through that freezing January night.
Думаю, даже если б Маринеско знал что параход с гражданскими , он бы все равно его утопил. Они были очень злы на немцев. За Армению, за Ленинград, за Все. На трех торпедах были надписи За родину, За советский народ, За Ленинград.
Вильгельм Густлаф - плавучая казарма 2-й учебной дивизии подводных лодок Германии. Вооружен и шел с эскортом миноносца "Лёве". На борту - 918 подводников из учебной флотилии и военный груз дивизии. 100% законная цель. Если он его не потопил, его бы в штрафбат отправили и правильно.
Потому что Сталин пытался скрыть гибель Армении..
Конечно утопил, и был бы прав. Это проблемы врагов, что они перевозили своих гражданских на корабле с зенитными орудиями и сотней экипажей подводных лодок.

Die Gustloff 2008 Music : Evanescence - Hilo
I don't know your heart
I don't know where to begin
But I could feel you erasing the rivers I'd drawn in
The more I stood still
The faster you were running
You don't know how it feels crawling under your skin
So far, so far away
Don't you know we could be
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you
I can't be your friend
Hold your hand while you bleed
There's nothing left to give you
Nothing more I need
Time to let it sleep
Oh, the damage was real
But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal
Don't you know we could be
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot
3:45 the music matches this scene and i like it
Absolutely a tragic event
People who dive the wreck says its just heaps of skeletons everywhere.
Making Gustloff one of few cases I believe the high death toll estimates.
Not sure where you get the info but the area was cleaned up by the Soviets, Soviet divers also. There are no remains visible. Unless deep in the hull where nobody can access due to hazards.
The way I learned about this ship was a book called “Salt to the Sea” by Ruta Sepetys (amazing book) and I didn’t realize how tragic this was. The Wilhem Gustloff is ignored with killing 9,400 people and the titanic is titled the most deadly. Pay attention!
I learned that tragedy by the infografic show
This song is so beautiful yet so chilling😢
The number of 1215 people survived, but nearly 9,000 people died in the see at a very cold winter night. This is the largest catastrophy on the see in the history. For the passengers in port Gdynia after a boarding a number of 8000 people, there was no journal to make the notes of the last names for the rest of the passengers. Willhelm Gustloff confirmed by telegram that on the board that horrible night was around 10 thousand people.
There was actually 1,234 people who died and 9K+ people who died
what do you mean by "see". did you mean "sea"?
heartbreaking scene, so many lives lost because of the war. Lots of cruelty.
Wilhelm Gustloff
1937 - 1945
Launched:5th May 1937
Sunk:30th January 1945
Sadly, 9400 is just a number if we let it buried in history.
Most of them were kids and women.
Everyone knows Titanic, but very few have heard of MV Wihelm Gustloff.
If it was not a Nazi ship. If it was a British ship sunk by Germany, the story would be different, and we might name the day 30 Jan. after the ship.
Just read the book "Salt to the sea" , God bless those souls.
All of them Nazis.
That's the price they pay when sailing under the Nazi flag during war.
The ship being owned by the nazis isn't the reason why it's so unknown, like the Hiedenburg was also a Nazi airship and it's still famous despite only 30 people dying.
It's because it happened in that time. Even if it would have been another countries ship, it would have happened during war.

step 1 get on a boat
step 2 its dinner time and eat
step 3 sleep
step 4 you heard explosion
step 5 the crew came to your room to evacuate the ship is sinking
step 6 take all your stuff and run
step 7 is to heavy and decided to leave all your stuff
step 8 get on a lifeboat
step 9 the ship is sinking dramitcly
step 10 you have no choice is to leave the ship
step 11 you found land
step 12 you found a cellphone
step 13 call rescue boats and helicopters to help the other people from the ship
step 14 you went home safe
step 15 just sleep
Well now I'm not going on a boat again
Step 16: Get nightmares about the other night
Step 17: wake up swinging and screaming and realize very quickly that you'd relive that tragic experience for the remainder of your entire life.

@@diegoam3293 Dejando de lado las películas (respecto a las cuales, si bien Titanic no es perfecta, es mejor, considero). Ambas historias reales fueron tragedias; sin importar que el Gustloff haya sido alemán en medio de la SGM, la inmensa mayoría de sus pasajeros eran civiles, muchos de ellos probablemente ni siquiera apoyaban las políticas de su régimen. Así que creo que su nacionalidad no implica que mereciesen tan cruel destino.
Era un barco bastardo con 9.000 escoria de diferentes sexos y edades a bordo. Toda esta "nación alemana" no merecía nada más que la muerte más cruel, y ahogarse en este barco aún es inexplicable para ellos la misericordia del Señor, porque merecían ser torturados a todos durante mucho tiempo y dolorosamente.

Estudar e valorizar a história para que isso nunca mais ocorra.
Was will man da studieren? Menschliches Versagen? Das einzige was dort schuld trägt und was man ändern kann ist: gierige Seeleute die einen Ständer auf Auszeichungen kriegen zu verbannen, und stattdessen Leute einsetzen die vor dem Angriff erstmal nachschauen was für ein Schiff das ist, und selbst wenn die geschossen haben, sich vielleicht an die See regeln halten und selbst mithelfen um leben zu retten

The Gustloff turned on Navigation Lights to Warn an Incoming set of Mine sweepers on the Same Route which was very Compact and tight so the Captain of the Vessel issued that an Threat of Collision is greater then the Threat of an Torpedo

@@Wildcatttttthe more tragic thing about it was that the germans probably even gunned down the lifeboats, or idk i forgot and lifeboats wouldnt even be launched probably so that doesnt make sense
This is the iconic song for this ship
Oh my goodness like imagine being inside the ship while those very little air pocket that is very Very, very scary.
This is amzing 2:37
Very impressive. Please make another such touching video about the sinking of the Soviet hospital ship "Armenia" by the Germans.
They won't, they don't want people to cry about soviets
There isn't really a movie about that one, unfortunately.
@@StalinKilled100MillionForJoke The Armenia had lost its Hospital Ship rating officially by mid 1941, as it not only actively carried out troop and weaponry transportation, but also was armed with multiple Anti-Aircraft Weapons and military board crews during the time of its sinking. Also, it had a convoy of two military boats and two fighter planes.
The sinking was horrible and unjust for the people on board, especially the civilians. But it wasn't a unreasonable brutality. The Germans were under the legitimate assumption, that the Armenia was carrying combatants and armaments.
The WG was sunken out of spite and hate. It maintained its civilians status and very much operated as a active civilian transportation craft. The Soviets plundered it right afterwards too.
@@BOMERdeath123 Потому что Сталин пытался скрыть гибель Армении..
Uhhh there's no movie about that, you are aware this channel didn't make a live action short film just for a music video...riiight?
Cool video
Thats why the woman said nothing can happen to us because theres a war in the city so they get in the ship. There was 3 torpedo's ahead the wilhelm gustloff sink fast because theres 3 holes in the ship.
Real quick the Wilhelm Gustloff never went almost upside down it went on its side like 4:20 and sank bow first.
O Wilhelm Gustloff afundou porque naquela noite a névoa era muito densa e a tripulação ligou as luzes de navegação para evitar que outros navios se colidisem com ele
Mas tinha um submarino na area que viu as luzes e pensou que era um navio de tropas alemão e a tripulação do Gustloff desligou as luzes ao ver aquele submarino, mas já era tarde demais
De fato, o navio estava armado e acompanhado por um destróier, o que o tornou um alvo militar. Além disso, os nazistas foram evacuados nele.
:(
The men in the submarine should've been court martial'd for sinking a Passenger Ship.
@@titanusghidorah7964 Eleven days after the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, the S-13 sank another transport ship, the General Steuben, with the loss of 3,300 lives.

The song is Hi-Lo from Evanescence actually. Broken Pieces Shine is from Evanescence as well but other album.
My grandma survived this one. She had her broomstick with her and flew away.
i like this vid
What movie is this clip from? Thanks!

Nice job 👍💪
Worsts sinking in history death total worse than titanic
So many lives forgotten even the ship is forgotten
Seriously Sewol Ferry And Costa Concordia And MS Estonia

Yes. In german death camps
2:49 the music becomes very dramatic. I like that
so many shipa have been forgotten after sinking which is sad
This is an incredible piece of history along with other cruise ship disasters. Was this from a film? It's incredibly done. Almost puts Titanic to shame.
Die Gustloff
Es ist tatsächlich so passiert und hat ungefähr das 5fache an Todesopfern von der Titanic gefordert, wobei man dazu sagen kann das aufgrund der Umstände der Abfahrt selbst die einzige Quelle aus dem Tagebuch eines Offizieres nicht ganz zu glauben ist, weil darin steht das das legedlich die Leute sind die er selbst anbord kommen sehen hat; und es gab eine ganze Menge mehr Leute die an anderen enden anbord gingen und er selbst auch nicht die gesammte Zeit dort war
The flim "Titanic" (1998) was totally rubbish 🚮
@@jagdpanther2224 1997 actually
Poor dog😢
Exposure to the Baltic sea in January would kill in minutes.
How does no one know about this? Where's the Hollywood movie??? This is a remarkably tragic story. Shame on us.
Was NOT a war crime, but a good target for ANY submarineer in such a situation. Armed ship carrying troops, going with a military escort...
Not entirely true. The troops you are talking about were mainly naval personnel tasked with crewing the ships assigned to operation Hannibal, and the military escort you are speaking of was not present with the Gustloff at the time of her sinking, as both torpedo boats suffered mechanical problems and could not accompany the ship westward. But i just saw your username while writing this reply and realise youre likely not inclined to admit the crimes committed under your country's regime(s) soviet or otherwise.
@@momokawashima9464 100% true, because it was even registered as a military vessel since 1945! Is it still not enough? A lot of civilians were onboard too, but this means nothing and changes nothing. I don't need to exsuse any crime 'cause there was no crime to sink "Gustloff".
@@momokawashima9464 The Geneva Convention is extremely clear on the requirements for hospital and refugee ships, none of which was met in the case of Wilhelm Gustloff. But, I am not surprised, fascist Western dictatorships accuse free countries of crimes as easily as they justify their own.
@@momokawashima9464 There were four ships to start with. The second torpedo boat and another converted liner were the ones that had to return to port. One torpedo boat, the Lowe, was still with her as an escort. This ship would drop a number of depth charges that killed a lot of people in the water but also picked up some 480 survivors.
The MV Wilhelm Gustloff had been repainted a few years earlier to military grey and was being used for military purposes which did make her a valid target. She had on board 990 soldiers, primarily cadets who were to be deployed to new uBoats, and 373 women auxiliaries. No signs or markings to show that she was carrying civilians.
For it to rise to a war crime there has to be intent to knowingly harm non-combatants. The sub had no way of knowing who was on board that ship. A tragedy of war, but not a war crime.
Se o Navio Estivesse Marcado Como Navio Hospital, Ele Não Teria Afundado, Talvez Seria Desmontando Ou Viraria Um Navio Museu/Hotel.
Na verdade, não. Porque os russos não ligavam pra crimes de guerra, por isso eles afundava navios hospitais, escravisavam, matavam inocentes etc...
ou se o capitão n tivesse acendido as luzes
??? Actually it was a hospital ship during a war with a red cross on it
it was navigation
Ou tomado o msm destino como o navio hospital HMHS Rewa msm marcado como navio hospital ele foi torpedeado
THAT'S WILHELM GUSTIOFF IS NIGHTMARE
Knew of this atrocity all my life. First time I seen it portrayed
Want to see the film
So much people were not able to see well because it was vert foggy
And Dark...
And Frost...
And lots of screams...
Was this condemned as a war crime after ww2
It was an act of war, so no it wasn't
Yes, it was a nice ship, but it was registered as a warship in the state of the German Navy, it was armed, it carried military units and weapons on its last voyage. It was an authorized military target.
@@martinnebola9586 thats somewhat misleading. Military personnel to a degree yes, they were tasked with crewing the ships for operation Hannibal, which was an effort to evacuate as many German civilians and wounded as possible from East Prussia before the Red Army arrived. While I take it with a grain of salt, the records of the Gustloff's last voyage do not indicate any weapons being carried, as the ship was gutted of any non-essential fittings and cargo to make room for passengers (they even emptied the swimming pools to cram in extra people)
The reason it is not considered a war crime is because the allies claim that because of its designation as a barracks ship and its navy officers on board, that it was a legitimate threat. This was mainly done to cover up the fact that the soviets at the time knew that the Gustloff, Goya, Steuben and other Hannibal ships were tasked purely with the evacuation of civilians, but sunk them anyway. The aforementioned claim was mainly a PR attempt to save face for their future cold war enemy.
No.
Soviet naval command, and commanding officer of S-13 Alexandr Marinesko thinked that transport was used for evacuation of german forces in East Prussia. So they think that german soldiers was onboard Gustloff and Steuben.
Also Gustloff was a legitimate target: 1) Gustloff wasn't hospital ship ( no official declare, no special coliring ) since november 1940.
2)Gustloff was armed ship.
3) Gustloff was colored in military camouflage
4) Military escort ( destroyer Löwe) which is prohibited for hospital ships.
5) At least 1453 passengers was applied to military personnel.
Condemned by who? The Nazi's?
This ship is very underrated
it's also very underwater
