Arctic convoys of World War II
The Arctic convoys of World War II were oceangoing convoys which sailed from the United Kingdom, Iceland, and North America to northern ports in the Soviet Union - primarily Arkhangelsk (Archangel) and Murmansk, both in modern-day Russia. Although there were two gaps with no sailings between July and September 1942, and March and November 1943, there were 78 convoys between August 1941 and May 1945, sailing via several seas of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
About 1400 merchant ships delivered essential supplies to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program, escorted by ships of the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, and the U.S. Navy. Eighty-five merchant vessels and 16 Royal Navy warships (two cruisers, six destroyers, eight other escort ships) were lost. Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine lost a number of vessels including one battleship, three destroyers and at least 30 U-boats as well as a large number of aircraft. The convoys demonstrated the Allies commitment to helping the Soviet Union, prior to the opening of a Second Front, and tied up a substantial part of Germany's Navy and Air Force.

How Britain Secretly Supplied Russia During World War Two
'How Britain Secretly Supplied Russia During World War Two' In August 1941, the Allies launched Operation Dervish. This was the first of the Arctic Convoys, ships which sailed from the United Kingdom, Iceland and North America, and brought essential supplies to the Soviet Union. After the successful launch of Operation Barbarossa, the USSR was in desperate need of raw materials, fuel, military equipment and food. Realising the importance of keeping the Germans fighting on two fronts, Churchill offered a helping hand to Stalin. Though eager to cooperate, the task of shipping supplies to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel was not an easy task. Sailing up through the treacherous Northern Atlantic, the convoys were faced with some of the harshest seafaring conditions, including temp...

The biggest convoy disaster of WW2 | Convoy PQ-17
On the 27th of June 1942 convoy PQ-17 departed Iceland for the Soviet Union. Out of 34 merchant ships, only 11 would make it to port. At first, things seemed to be going well for the convoy as they beat off multiple German air attacks with relative ease. But on the 4th of July, everything went wrong. An order arrived from Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, the First Sea Lord himself reading 'Convoy is to scatter'. Fearing an imminent attack from German surface ships like Tirpitz the escort ships fled west while the merchant ships made for the Soviet Union. But the Tirpitz was nowhere near the convoy, in fact, it was still at its moorings in northern Norway. Instead of saving the convoy from disaster, Admiral Pound's order had doomed PQ-17 to destruction. Over the following week, two-thirds of the ...

Today's Daily Dose short military history film covers arctic convoys of WW2, which cost 100 merchant and navy ships at a cost of more than 3,000 lives. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, Arctic Convoys of WW2.
After Germany invaded Russia on June 22nd, 1941—injecting some 4.2 million Axis troops across the soon-to-form Eastern Front, Russia was caught flat-footed and unprepared, allowing German tanks to cross halfway to Moscow before the Soviet’s managed a coordinated defensive response. Realizing that Great Britain would most likely fall to the Nazis without the help of Russia, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill put aside his longstanding objections to communism, culminating in the Soviet-British Mutual Assistance Pact of July 12th, 1941, which combined with FDR’s Lend-Lease Act to support Russia’s war effort with a steady supply of weapons and essential materiel.
The most direct sea route was around northern Norway to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel, which proved to be especially dangerous during the summer months, when 24 hours of daylight exposed merchant and naval ships to constant attacks by German U-boats and Nazi warplanes stationed in Norway. The vital route left the British with little choice but to ply the icy waters under the near total blackout conditions of the region’s six-month-long winters, forcing brazen seamen to ply the treacherous waters of the Norwegian and Barents Sea. Fierce storms sent mountainous, ice-laden waves crashing down on ships, buckling funnels and bridges while sweeping men overboard as they chipped away at ice formations that threatened to sink their ships under its crushing weight. Endless cold sapped crewmen of their strength, frequently leaving them without sleep for days at a time.
Nicknamed “The Suicide Run” by sailors, the first convoys sailed in September of 1941, initially coded PQ for outbound and QP for homebound, which changed to JW and RA respectively after 1943. Fighting both “The Weather War” and the threat of enemy attacks, the worst Allied losses occurred shortly after June 27th, 1942, when convoy PQ-17 sailed from Hvalfjord (Haalf your door) Iceland to the Russian port of Archangel. Located by German forces on July 1st, the convoy’s exposure prompted the British admiralty to scatter the ships due to fears of attack from the German battleship Tirpitz. Instead, German U-boats and aircraft sank 24 out of 35 ships, at a cost of 153 lives. Of the 78 arctic convoys that witnessed some 1,400 ships participate in suicide runs, more than 100 Royal and merchant ships were lost, all at a cost of over 3,000 lives, making the arctic convoys of WW2, some of the most gutsy missions of the Second World War.

'How Britain Secretly Supplied Russia During World War Two'
In August 1941, the Allies launched Operation Dervish. This was the first of the Arctic Convoys, ships which sailed from the United Kingdom, Iceland and North America, and brought essential supplies to the Soviet Union.
After the successful launch of Operation Barbarossa, the USSR was in desperate need of raw materials, fuel, military equipment and food. Realising the importance of keeping the Germans fighting on two fronts, Churchill offered a helping hand to Stalin.
Though eager to cooperate, the task of shipping supplies to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel was not an easy task. Sailing up through the treacherous Northern Atlantic, the convoys were faced with some of the harshest seafaring conditions, including temperatures that reached -30 degrees Celsius, gale force 10 winds, towering seas, intense fog and drift ice. The sailors on deck also had to be wary of the continuous threat of icebergs.
If this wasn’t enough of a challenge to the 78 convoys that made the journey to the Soviet Union between 1941 and 1945, the merchant vessels also faced the serious possibility of U-Boat attacks or German bombing raids.
As the convoys skirted occupied Norway en route to Murmansk and Archangel, the close proximity of German air and naval bases meant that attacks on the convoys were commonplace, and casualties were inevitable. Over 3,000 men lost their lives on the Arctic Convoys with 87 merchant ships and 18 Royal Navy ships lost.
In this documentary, Dan Snow delves deep into the history of the Arctic Convoys and reveals the ultimate sacrifice of the crews onboard the ships that made the perilous journey.

Instead of saving the convoy from disaster, Admiral Pound's order had doomed PQ-17 to destruction. Over the following week, two-thirds of the convoy were sunk by German aircraft and U-Boats. It was the biggest loss to a single British convoy in the Second World War.
In this video, IWM's Rob Rumble joins us from HMS Belfast in an attempt to uncover what went wrong. Why did Admiral Pound give the order to scatter? What was it like for the sailors and U-Boat crews? And how did the disaster of convoy PQ-17 affect the outcome of the Second World War?

This film is a tribute to those involved in the Russian Arctic Convoys which left Loch Ewe during World War Two.
It includes interviews with Arctic Convoy veterans, one in New Zealand and a Canadian. Prince Michael of Kent, the Russian Consul General in Edinburgh, Celia Sandys, Sir Winston Churchill’s granddaughter also making interesting contributions, with archive footage from British Pathe and thanks to the BBC, a visit to Loch Ewe.
In the absence of being able to hold our 75th-anniversary event to mark the last Arctic Convoy to leave Loch Ewe in 2020, deferred many times due to Covid until May 2022 we hope this program will be a fitting tribute to those involved in what Winston Churchill called the ‘worst journey in the world’.

Today's Daily Dose short military history film covers arctic convoys of WW2, which cost 100 merchant and navy ships at a cost of more than 3,000 lives. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, Arctic Convoys of WW2.
After Germany invaded Russia on June 22nd, 1941—injecting some 4.2 million Axis troops across the soon-to-form Eastern Front, Russia was caught flat-footed and unprepared, allowing German tanks to cross halfway to Moscow before the Soviet’s managed a coordinated defensive response. Realizing that Great Britain would most likely fall to the Nazis without the help of Russia, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill put aside his longstanding objections to communism, culminating in the Soviet-British Mutual Assistance Pact of July 12th, 1941, which combined with FDR’s Lend-Lease Act to support Russia’s war effort with a steady supply of weapons and essential materiel.
The most direct sea route was around northern Norway to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel, which proved to be especially dangerous during the summer months, when 24 hours of daylight exposed merchant and naval ships to constant attacks by German U-boats and Nazi warplanes stationed in Norway. The vital route left the British with little choice but to ply the icy waters under the near total blackout conditions of the region’s six-month-long winters, forcing brazen seamen to ply the treacherous waters of the Norwegian and Barents Sea. Fierce storms sent mountainous, ice-laden waves crashing down on ships, buckling funnels and bridges while sweeping men overboard as they chipped away at ice formations that threatened to sink their ships under its crushing weight. Endless cold sapped crewmen of their strength, frequently leaving them without sleep for days at a time.
Nicknamed “The Suicide Run” by sailors, the first convoys sailed in September of 1941, initially coded PQ for outbound and QP for homebound, which changed to JW and RA respectively after 1943. Fighting both “The Weather War” and the threat of enemy attacks, the worst Allied losses occurred shortly after June 27th, 1942, when convoy PQ-17 sailed from Hvalfjord (Haalf your door) Iceland to the Russian port of Archangel. Located by German forces on July 1st, the convoy’s exposure prompted the British admiralty to scatter the ships due to fears of attack from the German battleship Tirpitz. Instead, German U-boats and aircraft sank 24 out of 35 ships, at a cost of 153 lives. Of the 78 arctic convoys that witnessed some 1,400 ships participate in suicide runs, more than 100 Royal and merchant ships were lost, all at a cost of over 3,000 lives, making the arctic convoys of WW2, some of the most gutsy missions of the Second World War.

'How Britain Secretly Supplied Russia During World War Two'
In August 1941, the Allies launched Operation Dervish. This was the first of the Arctic Convoys, ships which sailed from the United Kingdom, Iceland and North America, and brought essential supplies to the Soviet Union.
After the successful launch of Operation Barbarossa, the USSR was in desperate need of raw materials, fuel, military equipment and food. Realising the importance of keeping the Germans fighting on two fronts, Churchill offered a helping hand to Stalin.
Though eager to cooperate, the task of shipping supplies to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel was not an easy task. Sailing up through the treacherous Northern Atlantic, the convoys were faced with some of the harshest seafaring conditions, including temperatures that reached -30 degrees Celsius, gale force 10 winds, towering seas, intense fog and drift ice. The sailors on deck also had to be wary of the continuous threat of icebergs.
If this wasn’t enough of a challenge to the 78 convoys that made the journey to the Soviet Union between 1941 and 1945, the merchant vessels also faced the serious possibility of U-Boat attacks or German bombing raids.
As the convoys skirted occupied Norway en route to Murmansk and Archangel, the close proximity of German air and naval bases meant that attacks on the convoys were commonplace, and casualties were inevitable. Over 3,000 men lost their lives on the Arctic Convoys with 87 merchant ships and 18 Royal Navy ships lost.
In this documentary, Dan Snow delves deep into the history of the Arctic Convoys and reveals the ultimate sacrifice of the crews onboard the ships that made the perilous journey.

On the 27th of June 1942 convoy PQ-17 departed Iceland for the Soviet Union. Out of 34 merchant ships, only 11 would make it to port. At first, things seemed to be going well for the convoy as they beat off multiple German air attacks with relative ease. But on the 4th of July, everything went wrong. An order arrived from Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, the First Sea Lord himself reading 'Convoy is to scatter'. Fearing an imminent attack from German surface ships like Tirpitz the escort ships fled west while the merchant ships made for the Soviet Union.
But the Tirpitz was nowhere near the convoy, in fact, it was still at its moorings in northern Norway. Instead of saving the convoy from disaster, Admiral Pound's order had doomed PQ-17 to destruction. Over the following week, two-thirds of the convoy were sunk by German aircraft and U-Boats. It was the biggest loss to a single British convoy in the Second World War.
In this video, IWM's Rob Rumble joins us from HMS Belfast in an attempt to uncover what went wrong. Why did Admiral Pound give the order to scatter? What was it like for the sailors and U-Boat crews? And how did the disaster of convoy PQ-17 affect the outcome of the Second World War?

This film is a tribute to those involved in the Russian Arctic Convoys which left Loch Ewe during World War Two.
It includes interviews with Arctic Convoy veterans, one in New Zealand and a Canadian. Prince Michael of Kent, the Russian Consul General in Edinburgh, Celia Sandys, Sir Winston Churchill’s granddaughter also making interesting contributions, with archive footage from British Pathe and thanks to the BBC, a visit to Loch Ewe.
In the absence of being able to hold our 75th-anniversary event to mark the last Arctic Convoy to leave Loch Ewe in 2020, deferred many times due to Covid until May 2022 we hope this program will be a fitting tribute to those involved in what Winston Churchill called the ‘worst journey in the world’.

In August 1941, the Allies launched Operation Dervish. This was the first of the Arctic Convoys, ships which sailed from the United Kingdom, Iceland and North America, and brought essential supplies to the Soviet Union.
After the successful launch of Operation Barbarossa, the USSR was in desperate need of raw materials, fuel, military equipment and food. Realising the importance of keeping the Germans fighting on two fronts, Churchill offered a helping hand to Stalin.

Arctic convoys of World War II
The Arctic convoys of World War II were oceangoing convoys which sailed from the United Kingdom, Iceland, and North America to northern ports in the Soviet Union - primarily Arkhangelsk (Archangel) and Murmansk, both in modern-day Russia. Although there were two gaps with no sailings between July and September 1942, and March and November 1943, there were 78 convoys between August 1941 and May 1945, sailing via several seas of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
About 1400 merchant ships delivered essential supplies to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program, escorted by ships of the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, and the U.S. Navy. Eighty-five merchant vessels and 16 Royal Navy warships (two cruisers, six destroyers, eight other escort ships) were lost. Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine lost a number of vessels including one battleship, three destroyers and at least 30 U-boats as well as a large number of aircraft. The convoys demonstrated the Allies commitment to helping the Soviet Union, prior to the opening of a Second Front, and tied up a substantial part of Germany's Navy and Air Force.
