Near the top of the world, a battered Lend-Lease convoy arrives in Murmansk, USSR, with its precious war goods for Stalins struggling forces. There will be a welcoming ceremony - bearing the black cross and swastika. Then come weeks of agonizingly slow cargo offload and exchange for Soviet goods. Hard work, danger, and surprises in human contact see the convoy goods delivered and then formation and departure of a reconstituted convoy. US Navy Armed Guard sailors embarked in one of the cargo ships have yet to see the end of Nazi air and wolf pack terror. The new convoys slow trek home will again test the very fiber of men at war in the vast, unforgiving North Atlantic.
