Did you know that Eric Braden who played John Jacob Astor in James Cameron's version of Titanic was a kid on this shipwreck.

If im not mistaken, the final death toll of Wilhelm Gustloff is 9343.

[@neverstoplearning123]

If I remember correctly, they didn't have an exact total due to many unregistered passengers aboard, but still, 9343 is a heck of a lot of people!
