Alexander Marinesko from Hero or Villain: More Prisoners of Eternity.

On 30 January, 1945, the Wilhelm Gustloff left Gotenhafen harbour bound for Germany loaded to the gunnals with refugees desperate to flee the advancing Red Army. She was never to make her destination. Later that night, in the foullest weather imaginable, she was torpedoed and sank with the loss of up to 10,000 souls. It was the greatest maritime disaster in history. One man was responsible, Alexander Marinesco, the deadliest of submariners.
