Comment

Date of issue: 02 JUN 1992

The Allied Convoys - special groups of transport and patrol ships were organized by the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union – participants of the Anti-Hitler Coalition during the Great Patriotic War II - for delivering through the North Atlantic to the Soviet ports the arms, military hardware, food and strategic raw materials from the Soviet Union to Allies. The first British convoy arrived in Arkhangelsk on August 31, 1941. In all, the Soviet ports accepted 42 convoys and dispatched 36 ones (all together 722 transport ships, 682 from which reached ports of destination). That unprecedented experience of organizing stabile sea traffic in the wartime and under rugged northern climate conditions was of great importance for the victory of Allied over the common enemy.
