In page Karl Dönitz:

Through 1944 and 1945, the Dönitz-initiated Operation Hannibal had the distinction of being the largest naval evacuation in history.[9] The Baltic Fleet was presented with a mass of targets, the subsequent Soviet submarine Baltic Sea campaign in 1944 and Soviet naval Baltic Sea campaign in 1945 inflicted grievous losses during Hannibal. The most notable was the sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff by a Soviet submarine.[10] The liner had nearly 10,000 people on board.[11] The evacuations continued after the surrender. From 3 to 9 May 1945, 81,000 of the 150,000 persons waiting on the Hel Peninsula were evacuated without loss.[12] Albrecht Brandi, commander of the eastern Baltic,[13] initiated a counter operation, the Gulf of Finland campaign, but failed to have an impact.[citation needed]
