Скачать или смотреть The Day Convoy PQ 17 Was Left to Die

On July 4, 1942, in the frozen gray waters north of Norway, Convoy PQ 17 was ordered to scatter. What followed became the worst one-day Allied convoy disaster of World War II: U-boats and Luftwaffe torpedo bombers tearing into isolated merchant ships, while German battleships steamed and turned back without firing a shot.

This full-length audio documentary tells the story from both sides of the Barents Sea: the political pressure from Stalin and Roosevelt, the nightmare of the Arctic route, the fear of the battleship Tirpitz inside the Admiralty, and the moment when one decision in London stripped thirty-four ships of their protection and left them to fend for themselves. Featuring vivid narration, reconstructed dialogue, and detailed historical context, this is the complete saga of Convoy PQ 17 and Operation Rosselsprung.
