My Dad fought WW2 in India for 4 years. The troopship that brought him back sailed round the bottom of South Africa, across the Southern Atlantic Ocean, up the East Coast of America and then back across the very top of the North Atlantic to avoid U-Boats, (It was late 1944) and the voyage took about 3 weeks. The ship was so heavily loaded with troops and military equipment that the lowest portholes were below sea level most of the voyage. On the very last night they were slowly steaming up the Irish Channel to dock at Liverpool the next morning. Ships in the convoy were in “blackout “ no lights on the ships and suddenly the alarm went off. A U-Boat was attacking the convoy. Dad said that it was terrifying because he and his friends were below the waterline, all the watertight doors were closed and they heard a torpedo whining through the water. But the ship gently turned away and it slid past them in the darkness. During the morning they were told that the Royal Navy Destroyer Escort had chased the submarine off. Everyone got home safely in that convoy. The majority of the crew, on the troopships, were Merchant Seamen, with some Royal Navy Officers in charge.

My uncle Pat did this run for two years, Royal Navy escort destroyer. After that he was transferred to HMS Quorn as part of D-day landing escort. He and all but some six of the crew lost their lives on 3rd of august when hit by a marder torpedo. Super brave men all of them. I find it sadly ironic that he survived possibly the most dangerous run all that time to be transferred and lose his life. Lest we forget.

[@anthonygerace332]

My great uncle (my grandmother's brother) was a Merchant Marine seaman whose ship was torpedoed and sunk in the Indian Ocean in the middle of the night in June of 1942. He survived in not piece and lived for another 51 years. Convoys and naval escorts were stretched thin at that time, so his ship was alone and unprotected except for a deck gun. For the rest of his live he had his life vest from that day hanging in his basement, because the vest had saved his life.

[@peterfrazer1943]

One of my old Friends Jimmy "Bomber" Harris did this run 7 times on an Escort Vessel. He was awarded the DCM aged 17, after being severely wounded but stayed at his Post, feeding the Gun. He received his Medal from King George 1V. This made him the second highest decorated Boy Seaman in the History of the Royal Navy, Jack Cornforth VC, WW1 being the highest. These men should never be forgotten, Heroes each and everyone of them. This was the most dangerous and arduous Convoy run of WW11 and who in the Modern World would do it now.

Stalin never thanked, much less offered to reimburse, all the war material we and the allies sent him at great cost in blood and treasure via the Arctic circle. Yes, the tanks and some of the planes were inferior to what he had, but he never would have made it to Berlin without the 100,000 US trucks that brought the supplies to his troops and transport them and their artillery to the front line. Many of the dreaded Katyausa rocket launchers were mounted on US Dodge trucks. Otherwise it was mostly horse drawn wagons he had to work with. Plus better radios, radio tubes, medical supplies, and other boring yet vital war material that enabled the Red Army to keep fighting. War is about logistics, and those convoys saved the USSR and gave it victory. But Stalin took it all for granted, because he thought nothing of losing 20 million of his own people to win the war.

[@giulianomarco]

I believe (after reading The Second World War six-volume set by Churchill), that the inferred agreement was for the Soviets to come and collect materiel with their own ships and men. As usual, Stalin's interpretation was different. My paternal grandfather was on the Arctic convoys. He was a stoker on HMS Harvester, which was sunk in 1943 off Iceland. He was just 28 years old.

The United States Government did not recognize the Merchant Service during WWII as military service until the late 1990s. I knew two people who served 6 years under fire in the North Atlantic 1939-1945 (for the US merchant seamen that was 2 years when their own nation was not at war) who subsequently left the Merchant Service and then during the buildup of the Korean War received draft notices and were drafted (one Army, one Navy) because they had "no military record of service".

The Murmansk run is a good basic subject. Plenty of moral complication of feeding the desperate war effort of Stalin's regime against the hideous possibility of Germany outright winning in the east and being able to turn all it's strength against the west. The Norwegian angle looks cool. By 1942 any Norwegian sailors would be exiles from their occupied country. That would make some interesting motivations.

La batalla del Atlántico fue la que decidió el triunfo de los aliados en la II G.M. , quienes dicen otra cosa, son de «mentalidad terrestre». Los rusos difícilmente hubiesen podido recuperarse y emprender esas enormes ofensivas sin todo el material provisto por los aliados. Esa es la realidad. Y también lo es el hecho de que sin el valor y sacrificio de tantos marinos mercantes, con poco o nada que hacer solos ante los U-boots, esa enorme batalla no hubiese tenido el resultado que tuvo. Mis respetos a todos aquellos que ofrendaron sus vidas en esta gigantesca batalla. Por último: me resulta insultante que el protagonismo de esta película, estuviese compartido con una mujer. La participación de la mujer en la guerra naval de la II G.M., si lo hubo, fue marginal. La mujer estaba en esa época, completamente ajena a la guerra en el mar. Puedieron haber tripulado tanques, ser francotiradoras y alguna piloto. Pero en el mar NO. Y no ofendo a nadie si digo que en esos años, quien se la jugó al máximo en el mar, en los dos bandos, fueron hombres.

Nortraship was a massive organisation of some 1000 ships and more than 30.000 sailors that operated globally before the war. Is it really hard to believe that a vast international company would be unwilling to use cheap labour from other parts of the world? In a war of national survival, the gender or colour of the sailor or telegraph operator is of no concern. These people, who had been civilian sailor before the war, stod on post under attack - in the engine, on the lookout, in the wheelhouse and on the gun platform yet you see fit to ridicule their service?

[@dominicbuckley8309]

Yes, there were women serving on board merchant ships during WW2. In addition to the nurses, stewardesses and laundry workers to be found on passenger ships converted to troop carriers, there were quite a few radio officers (as seen here) and also some engineers. At least two Soviet ships had female captains. As for racial 'representation', merchant ships are far more likely to have a mixture of nationalities within the crew than warships. Crew 'sign on' for each individual voyage - if a sailor dies, falls sick or just leaves, their billet needs to be filled. And if it happens in a foreign port, that new crewmember will likely be recruited from the local populace, so any crew quickly comes to represent a cross-section of the places the ship has visited. By the early 20th century, over 50,000 African, Arabic, Indian or Chinese sailors were employed in British ships - about one sixth of the entire workforce of the merchant navy.
