During the last four years of the Second World War, the Western
Allies secured Russian defenses against Germany by supplying vital
food and arms.
The plight of those in Murmansk and Archangel who benefited is
now well known, but few are aware of the courage, determination and
sacrifice of Allied merchant ships, which withstood unremitting
U-boat attacks and aerial bombardment to maintain the lifeline to
Russia. In the storms, fog and numbing cold of the Arctic, where
the sinking of a 10,000 ton freighter was equal to a land battle in
terms of destruction, the losses sustained were huge.
Told from the perspective of their crews, this is the inspiring
story of the long-suffering merchant ships without which Russia
would almost certainly have fallen to Nazi Germany.
