I have just been riveted to the television for the last hour watching this fascinating story about World War 2 supply ship convoys on Arctic seas. This is the third in a series of excellently produced, deeply researched, and superbly written & presented (by Jeremy Clarkson) documentaries of heroic wartime events.
In this film, as in the previous films, there are poignant contributions from veterans who were actually involved and Clarkson takes the viewer to the very locations to best deliver the story of this ill fated convoy. There are 3 still shots at the end of the film which are particularly moving.
After seeing all three of these films it really brings home the staggering bravery, utter commitment and determination under the harshest environments, not to mention the actual warfare that these men endured for our liberty today. It's humbling indeed.
