Описание: November 1943. Three Canadian destroyers - Haida, Huron, and Iroquois -steam toward the Arctic Circle to escort convoys carrying war supplies to Stalin's Soviet Union. The "Murmansk Run" meant constant darkness, ice accumulating on decks threatening to capsize ships, German U-boats hunting in wolf packs, and Luftwaffe bombers attacking from Norwegian bases. For eighteen months, these Canadian Tribal-class destroyers protected the lifeline that kept the Eastern Front supplied while German battleship Scharnhorst waited to intercept. When convoy JW 55B departed for Russia in December 1943, the Germans deployed their last operational battleship for one final strike. This is the story of Canada's role in the Arctic convoys—brutal conditions, desperate battles, and the recognition gap that buried one of the Royal Canadian Navy's most important contributions.
