A principios de 1945, cuando el ejército ruso invadió el este de Alemania, se inició un éxodo de millones de personas. Centenares de miles lo hicieron por barco, y uno de ellos fue el Wilhelm Gustloff, un crucero de placer que el 30 de enero de 1945 zarpó con más de 10.000 refugiados, entre ellos 5.000 niños. Poco antes de medianoche, tres torpedos soviéticos alcanzaron al barco, que se hundió en las aguas heladas del mar Báltico en menos de 55 minutos. (FILMAFFINITY)
