I forget the exact origin, but “Cargo 200” is a macabre expression in the former Soviet bloc for cargo that is actually corpses from the front. I think Soviet leadership used to list these transports as “Cargo 200” during the second world war to disguise the true volume of soldiers that were dying while fighting Nazi Germany.
