Five Thousand Souls, Four Thousand Mines: The Tallinn Breakthrough

Fear and dread slide into focus when you learn a single merchant ship left Tallinn on August 28, 1941 carrying an estimated 5,000 people into waters seeded with more than 4,000 mines - and yet some survived. How did an evacuation planned to save a fleet and tens of thousands of lives become one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history, and who paid the cost?
In this episode, we tell the events around the Tallinn Passage and the convoy that sailed from a besieged harbour under German artillery and encirclement, laying out how delays, overloading and pre-laid enemy minefields collided to produce catastrophe. What decisions, mistakes, and preparations turned an organized withdrawal into a voyage through near-certain death?

Date: August 28, 1941
