 | | Four days after Hitler's suicide, on May 3 1945, the Cap Arcona, the Thielbek, and the passenger liner Deutschland (converted to a hospital ship but unmarked as such) were sunk in four separate attacks by RAF planes of 83 Group, 2nd Tactical Air Force: the first by No. |
 | | Photos (burning ships; listing Deutschland, and Thielbek, Cap Arcona, swimming survivors) were taken on a reconnaissance mission over Bay of Lübeck by F-6 aircraft of the USAAF's 161st Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron around 5:00 PM, shortly after the attack. |
 | | Losses of life in the Cap Arcona and in the Soviet sinkings of the Wilhelm Gustloff and the Goya in the Baltic Sea were among the highest in history. |
