The Sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff


Listen Later

On the evening of January 30, 1945, the deadliest shipwreck in human history occurred. 

Most of you might be aware of the sinking of the Titanic or the Lusitania, yet you’ll have never heard of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff

With a death toll 4 to 6 times worse than the Titanic, the maritime disaster has been all but forgotten today. Why has history forgotten about the world’s greatest maritime disaster?

Learn more about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, why it happened, and why it has been forgotten by history in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
