It was Wilghelm Gustloff. Sank January 30, 1945, around 4 a.m. with the loss of more than 5000 lives.

Here is a short story: http://www.militaryhistoryOnline.com...mgustloff.aspx

But how could Marinescu knew it was passenger liner with 6000 refuges ? Complete darkeness, 4 am in winter, large enemy convoy in sight...
