My dad was in the Navy on an American Merchant. His ship traveled with the British convoys bringing supplies to Murmansk Russia. He never talked much about the war but he sure loved WWII movies. I didn't realize what he been through until just a couple months ago when I read the Cruel Sea. It has quite a bit of detail about convoys heading to Murmansk.
Its funny how these vets came back from the war different. When his ship came home to New York harbor he tossed his pistol in the Hudson River.
