Here's what happened on January 29, 1945:

• Soviet Offensive in Königsberg during World War II During the final stages of World War II, the Soviet 3rd Belorussian Front launched a significant offensive into the strategically important city of Königsberg, located in East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). This attack was part of the larger Soviet push to defeat Nazi Germany and marked a critical moment in the Soviet advance towards Berlin.

This action was common among German naval units as the war drew to a close, to avoid having their technology and personnel fall into enemy hands.
