Descriptionof Arctic Convoys. Bletchley Park and the War for the Seas
Manufacturer

Between 1941 and 1945, more than eight hundred shiploads of supplies were delivered to the Soviet Union, protected by the Allied naval forces. Each voyage was a battle against the elements, with stormy seas, extreme cold and the constant fear of torpedoes. These Arctic convoys have been mythologised as defenceless ships at the mercy of deadly U-boats - but was this really the case? David Kenyon explores the history of the war in the Arctic and finds that the battle was more even than previously thought. The battles included large ship battles, aircraft carrier battles and battles between surface ships. Amidst this broad spectrum of forces, Bletchley Park's naval section played a crucial role in Arctic operations, with both sides relying heavily on intelligence to intercept and crack each other's codes. Kenyon paints a vivid picture of the Arctic theatre of war, revealing the large-scale struggle for naval supremacy in northern waters.
