	Arctic convoys of World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arctic convoys of World War II travelled from the United States and the United Kingdom to the northern ports of the Soviet Union - Archangel and Murmansk.
		The Battle of the North Cape: In December 1943, convoy JW55B was attacked by the Scharnhorst.
		In particular, the unsuccessful attack on convoy JW-51B (the Battle of the Barents Sea), where a strong German naval force failed to defeat a British escort of cruisers and destroyers, infuriated Hitler and led to the strategic change from surface raiders to submarines.

	American Merchant Marine in World War 2
		Casualties were kept secret during the War to keep information about their success from the enemy and to attract and keep mariners at sea.
		The downside to convoys were the delays involved: waiting to assemble; taking a common, but often longer route; reducing speed to match the slowest ship, and delays in unloading because of congestion.
		Convoys carrying the troops and supplies to the landings in Japan would have to cross hundreds of miles of ocean on their way from the Marianas, the Philippines and Okinawa.

		A Tale of Two Legions in World War II In World War II, the French Foreign Legion fought against the Germans with its usual élan, but it was almost destroyed by the disparate elements within its own ranks.
		Those veterans of the desert sands were being trained to fight in Arctic snows and outfitted as mountain troops with heavy parkas, boots and snow capes.
		In training during the "phony war" period there was much drunkenness, fighting and courts-martial, but when the German panzers broke through in May, the dissension among the 11th REI's elements disappeared.
