Stalin's Lifeline: The Allied Convoys Through The Arctic | Worst Journey In The World

I love these documentaries ! So much knowledge from watching , I'm poor I can't afford the real website thank you for the KZbin uploads . Thank you !

[@bobklincke4671]

I was so pleased to watch this documentary. My father sailed on the Murmansk convoy. He was a merchant sailor on board the Harmatris. Joined 10 Oct 1941. They were bombed and torpedoed. Abandoned ship and reboarded when she didn't sink. Interesting note the Russian Government wanted to award a medal to these heroic men but they were denied but the British government. Thank you for producing this piece of history.

One small addition for the last statement. These shipments where paid back not just in lives but also in gold. They weren't gifts or donations. The last payment for land lease shipments was done in 2006.

[@DavidM2002]

My father served on these convoys in the Royal Canadian Navy on board the frigate HMCS Port Colborne in December 1944 on this run. He didn't talk about it much but did say that they spent much of their time chopping ice off the decks to stop the ship from becoming top heavy and rolling over. He did recall some ships that didn't make it because of that ice but said it was not possible to stop for survivors because it only took a few short minutes for the cold to incapacitate and then kill anyone in the water. When they got to Murmansk, the Russians wouldn't even let them go ashore.

It's worth noting that the worst disaster to befall allied convoys was on the route to the Soviet Union. In July 1942 convoy PQ 17 was spotted and pursued by the Germans. The escort warships left the convoy to intercept German warships believing the battleship Tirpitz was after them (it wasn't) leaving the convoy unprotected. The convoy ships scattered and German aircraft and U Boats sank 19 out of 35 ships.

My maternal Grandfather was a Canadian merchant sailor in WW2 and was sunk 3 times by U-boats on Arctic convoy runs from Scotland to Murmansk or Archangel. All 3 times in pitch dark in the middle of the night and with Arctic storms howling. All 3 times he made it up from below deck and into a lifeboat, then through the bodies, debris and burning oil on the surface to “safety” and the hope of rescue, but many, many of his friends didn’t. He was mentioned twice in dispatches to the King. My Mum has copies of the pages of the London Gazette with his name in them. During one of his his sinkings he carried multiple crew mates up from below deck and into a lifeboat, including his best friend who had had both arms blown off in an explosion after they were hit. He hated the war and was unapologetic about that. He would have nothing to do with any remembrance of it for the rest of his life. The one good thing about it was he met my Granny in Edinburgh and came back, married her and settled here when it was over. Otherwise I wouldn’t exist. He passed when I was a teenager and he didn’t talk to us kids about the war, but I overheard him speaking to my Dad about it a couple of times after a few drinks. The one bit of wisdom he did pass on directly to me and my brothers was while we were on a walk along the beach near where he and my Granny lived. “Never, ever, ever turn your back on the sea, boys. It’s beautiful but it’s not your friend and will take you in a second.” I’ve never forgotten that.

My father was the Senior Pilot of 835 Squadron - a composite Squadron comprising open cockpit Swordfish Torpedo Bombers and single seater Wildcat fighters. They were flying in darkness through the winter of 1944 - 1945. The deck of HMS Nairana was 60 feet wide and landing deck 410 feet long. They flew in temperatures of -40C and the Wildcats fighting Junkers 88s without radar to help them locate the attackers or to help them find their way back to the carrier in the dark. And they flew in storms and winds gusting over 70 miles per hour. This is the untold part of the story. My father lost every number two pilot who flew into combat with him. I hope the story of this squadron is told properly some day. In March/April of 1945 over 70 per cent of the Squadron was invalided out by an Admiralty medical board on mental health grounds and the squadron was disbanded.

[@dovetonsturdee7033]

@@abhivermaz Churchill was a complex man, with both strengths & flaws, but he was able to motivate Britain in a way that almost certainly no-one else (and especially not Lord Halifax) could. Actually, the Bengal Famine had a number of causes, among which were the number of refugees from Japanese held areas, the inability to import food from those same areas, stockpiling by hoarders and, perhaps worst of all, the Bengal administration, which tried to minimise the crisis. The worst that could be said of Churchill was that he should have known what was taking place, but didn't. After all, in 1943, he had little else to worry about. You could also add the refusal of FDR to allow the transfer of merchant shipping, by the way. What is without dispute, except by those who choose to blame Churchill for everything since the Black Death, is that once he did find out, he transferred food distribution to the British Indian Army, and had grain convoys diverted from Australia to India. All the above can be documented, although I appreciate, of course, that you won't believe any of this, as it doesn't fit with the revisionist propaganda you have been fed, and apparently swallowed whole.

Did the soviets send their ships to collect these supplies? If not, why not?

[@leoa4c]

Good question. After some research, the simple answer is: They did, and they didn't. Out of 104 allied merchant ships sunk, the Soviet Union lost 30 of them. Considering that up until 1944, the Soviet Union was the only allied country facing large numbers of German divisions, I suspect that it would've been a little too much, diplomatically, to ask it to deal with Atlantic convoys as well. We also need to consider the fact that, after all, lend-lease was not a gift. The Soviets would have to pay for it. Relatively close to it, the Soviet Union did use its own merchant ships and escorts, hence the losses mentioned above.

[@alexread9420]

Thank you Why are these versions of truth told and not truthfully told?

[@leoa4c]

​@@alexread9420 I assume it's mostly to do with national pride, misinformation, or simply historical bias. On this topic, both sides have an interest in hiding the truth, or at least the absolute truth. The Soviet Union, now Russia, has an interest in perpetuating the myth that it and its heroic efforts, alone, won the second world war. Admitting their role and losses in the Arctic convoys would mean admitting the massive tonnage of lend-lease supplies sent to the USSR. On the other hand, the UK and the US have an interest in downplaying Soviet/Russian involvement in order to perpetuate the idea that the generous western allies, suffered all alone through the Arctic, just to help an ungrateful ally.
