Walling, Michael G.2016
Books
In 1941 Germany invaded the Soviet Union in the largest offensive operation ever undertaken. Operation Barbarossa saw defeat after defeat heaped on the Soviet army. With Russia's forces left staggering under the strain and in desperate need of resupply, Britain and the United States launched an ambitious operation to resupply the Soviet Union using convoys sent through the Arctic. In 'Forgotten Sacrifice', historian Michael G. Walling tells the complete story of the Allied forces' Arctic convoys and the vital role they played in helping Russia repel the Germans.
