23 августа 1939 года Советский Союз и нацистская Германия подписали Договор о ненападении, известный как пакт Молотова – Риббентропа. Секретный дополнительный протокол к этому договору, фактически очертивший ""территориально-политическое переустройство"" Прибалтийских государств и Польши, предопределил дальнейшее развитие истории в XX веке.

Hitler's Titanic - the deadliest and most secret catastrophe in the history of maritime warfare. When the Wilhelm Gustloff was sunk by a Soviet submarine, with the loss of nearly 10,000 lives in January 1945, it wrote itself an unenviable record in the history books as the deadliest maritime disaster of all time. Yet, aside from its grim fate in the icy waters of the Baltic, the story of the Gustloff is a fascinating one, which sheds light on a number of little-known aspects of the wider history of the Third Reich. Launched in Hamburg in 1937, the luxury liner Wilhelm Gustloff was originally to be christened the “Adolf Hitler”, but…
