Lifeline to Victory - VHS transfert
This is a rare WW2 movie from 1993 about the crew of a Royal Canadian Navy Corvette and its North Atlantic convoy duty.
Transferted from VHS to DVD. Not the best quality but still watchable!
Synopsis From IMDB
www.imdb.com/title/tt0107414/
Paul Devereaux is a second officer with lots of experience with merchant ships. But this is World War II and the Royal Canadian Navy desperately needs experienced officers. Paul is thus given command of his own ship. However, in early 1940's, Canadian Navy does not have the biggest budget nor the most qualified enlisted men. Paul's ship must escort merchant ship to Europe and back and take part in the longest naval battle in history.

    And now the world is turning upside down. Greed is poisoning our nation. And electing a failed businessman, rapist, criminal fraudster, who lead a coup and stole our national secrets to sell to our enemies for his personal gain. To those that voted for a dictatorship, voted 3rd party in protest or didn’t vote at all; you don’t know what you’ve done, I hope you aren’t ignorant enough to have voted for what is about to happen. Isn’t it peculiar that they want to do with public education? That way you don’t know any better.

    Did they really send children in the convoys to Canada? I think that was too great a risk.

    • @Prefster1942
      @Prefster1942 21 день назад

      Yes. During the blitz against London and other English cities, children were sent to Canada, to live with relatives and foster parents. Most made it safely and avoided the bombs droped by the Luftwaffe.

    My late father wasin the merchant navy During WW11 convoys across the Atlantic...he never talked about the subs,danger except to mention the highlight of his days was devouring Goanese Indian fish curries with fish straight from the sea with his bare hands...as Goanese cooks/laundry workers became his comrades in arms...

    Una gran película en recrear las duras condiciones que debieron afrontar los aliados contra la amenaza submarina durante la segunda guerra mundial. Tal como fue el caso de los canadienses en proteger los convoyes que tanto se necesitaban a la sitiada Inglaterra. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.

      @Prefster1942 2 месяца назад

      Actually it did happen. The mk IV breach gun in 1941-1942 was difficult to obtain as ot was manufactured in britain. So many corvettes crossed the Atlantic with only depth charges and were being fitted with the gun once in Britain.

    Superb movie about the RCN escorting the wartime convoy ships from Canada during WWII, the cold weather, high seas and the continual threat of submarine attacks. These men took tremendous risks to get the supplies through to the UK. Many ships were lost both Naval and Merchant, we are truly indebted to these brave men, we will not forget their valour and courage to aid us in our hour of need. Thank you!

    My Father served from 1939 to 1945 RCN and one of the ships he served on was HMCS TRILLIUM which was the only Corvette in the Canadian Navy to spend the entire War as an open Ocean Escort between Halifax NS and Londonderry Northern Ireland and boy did he have a lot of memories of his service time.

    Good for a low budget film which has borrowed heavily from the outstanding book by Nicholas Monserrat 'The Cruel Sea'. I recommend both the book and the film by the same name. They were ordinary people just like you and me. They raised themselves to become true heroes, so can we. We have new enemies using new methods, many are already among us. Can you become a true hero?

    Inept incompetent Western governments severely abused their men & women called-up for War Time Combat Duty, Ill- trained Ill-equipped, faulty equipment, wooden mock-ups instead of actual offensive big naval guns!! Faulty torpedoes!! Absence of Long-Range ASW Patrol Bombers!! Absence of Long Range Fighters for Bomber protection enroute to targets !! Small Corvettes in North Atlantic substituting for larger more deadly Destroyers !! US Navy COMMAND doesn’t have a clue how to employ US Subs offensively against killer Nazi Wolf Pack U-Boat tactics first two years wears of WWII !! The list of failures is endless, first two years of the war !! Countless lives lost & war-fighting matériels due to Administrative & political FAILURES. It’s far too depressing to continue.

    The work of Bletchley Park helped to bring a quicker end to the Battle of the Atlantic. The world did change, but sadly innocent blood is still spilt today through futile wars and a craving for power. The human race will never learn.

    I spent 20 years in the Canadian Navy, and the behaviour I'm seeing from the leadership in this movie reminds me of the same leadership that I was subjected to. No wonder my father told me Petty Officers did not go on the upper decks after dark. They were afraid of being thrown overboard. They treated people like shit in the 1940's just like they did in the 90's and early 2000's.

    I'm not sure if this is the same convoy that picked up the children, but there was one that did. Two little sisters were rescued and taken back to England, where their frantic parents still wanted them in Canada- 'safe'. They put more children on another ship, along with the 2 sisters that had already been nearly drowned. Sadly, another U-Boat sunk that ship, too, and this time, the sisters drowned. Imagine what they went through- twice. Their parents probably were destroyed by guilt. Search the SS Benares for more stories of ill-fated attempts to rescue children. The Canadians did a lot more during the War but they didn't get as much credit as the 'big' players. SALUTE, Canadians that fought so bravely!
