As terrible as the main Battle of the Atlantic was, I can't even imagine what it must of been like to be dodging German U-Boats... and the Luftwaffe bombers... and the ice... and the freezing cold... on the merciless ocean in the most chilling waters on planet Earth. Wonderful two-part WG; excellent.
World of Warships, thank you so much for this amazing Naval Legends documentary. Thank you so much also for including so many Veterans in there who have had genuine experience of the Arctic Convoy Mission. I can't thank more than enough our Veterans who have brought so bravely during World War II to free the world from the tyranny of the Nazi. This video really made me emotional. Thank you again!
Freedom from Nazis, yet slaves because of fear of a nuclear war for the next 50 years XD ahh the wonders of irony :D
Yeah a lot of normies just don't get it at all they see the war as a binary struggle when the reality was much more complex than that.
Good to have those that survived conflicts tell their side of the story, an eye-witness to history. Thanks much for this production.
Well, I've never noticed any german naval veteran so far. Nethertheless: Great movie which shows the struggle of this sad war.
germans keep this subject close their not proud of their history.... but you can find german officers really good
It's hard to see the pained emotions in the eyes of the veterans as they recall the horrors they had to face in war.
Who thinks making these sort stories into a game mode? I think it would be really interesting.
I agree
That would actually be pretty neat to escort a convoy to its destination fighting off aircraft and dodging torps fired by both the aircraft and subs.
Well,they are currently planning for a PvE convoy mode .
There is already one, it´s called Silent Hunter 3 with GWX mod.
I just want to say that this has to be one of the best history videos I've ever seen. I love that a gaming company cares so much about history that it is willing to share this quality of content with us.
Not to forget the merchant sailors. Unsong heroes.
Extremely proud to say my grandfather sailed in the convoys with the Royal Navy....his ship HMS zambesi was the lead ship int thw soroya evacuation of February 1945, and was also the ship which rescued the survivors from the ss. Henry Bacon. God bless all these heroes and lest we forget
Thank you for this insight into what these brave people did ,my Uncle has just passed away aged 97
He was very proud of serving and being part of this incredible journey and watching this I can understand why
Its funny to see not much has changed in this day as people in WoWs, do the same thing. "Ooooh a carrier" - Everyone else "MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" meanwhile enemy DDS are just laying in wait with torpedos.
Gosh, I didn't expect to tear up towards the end there - Thank you WG for this insightful look on the convoys, and a massive Thank you to all the people who participated in the arctic convoys to help keep Russia fighting o7
Ok WoWs, you danced the documentaries, now let's see the convoy mode manifest on the actual game! :)
Allied Vs Axis ships. Allied defend, Axis attack! No more muddling the teams about either. Let's go War of Thunder on this one.
Watch Ryder Yes,that mode could be interesting,but also the Axis should have to defend convoys,as they did in history.
What convoys did they defend in history? The ones in the Mediterranean?
Watch Ryder Mostly the ones in the Mediterranean,but also a few in the Black Sea....
Great job WG and a salute to those great sailors.
Seeing those veterans standing together, being recognized, and telling their story got me a little emotional.
Fantastic video, honoring some of the heroes of WWII. Nice job WG.

*Torpedo Beats intensifies*
Fking op rudder shift
That must be a T9 auxiliary vessel that can mount the special rudder module :D
Try to miss. Sometime it is easy
Allies: hey enemy spotted forget escorting DEFENCELESS MERCHANT SHIPS. Lets go find a TIRPITZ
FFS
typical teammate in World of Warships lol, chase an enemy down across the map and not help allies or defend base lmao
What would you rather lose, a hand or a foot? Tirpitz was a much bigger threat than aerial bombers. Bombers could be repelled and more easily engaged whereas Tirpitz threatened the entire PQ convoy concept.
Jun Yu Tan you do realize that diverting the escort ships work right? When German command realized that all the escort ships had been diverted to engage the Tirpitz she was order to turn around...
Generik (Yeah but they could of you know.....JUST SLOW DOWN THE CONVOY SO THE BATTLE FLEET COULD CATCH UP INSTEAD!...) And that's how ey see it
So the better choice is to get those defenceless merchant ships stuck in the middle of a battle between two fleets? That is even worse. First of all what was going on was a "cut them off at the pass" move. One, you are engaging the enemy before he can attack the items you are escorting and it also delays their advancement on your charge so they can gain distance between them and the attacking force .
Next up, you should look at merchant ships of the time. They had guns that were more for Anti-air defense, but they were not built for a fleet engagement. The merchant ships were not defenseless against air threats, but to sea threats that had no chance to service, so they were dealing with the biggest threat to the merchant ships.
It is nice to see the interviews, but the historical accuracy is lacking. The Royal Navy believed that they did not have a large enough surface force to stop the German surface forces in the event of an attack, and when they believed that the Tirpitz was coming they ordered the convoy to scatter on the basis that a surface attack would wipe out the convoy. It was not a casual decision or an incompetent one, based on what they knew at the time. The result of PQ-17 did show that scattering a convoy was no less dangerous against German air and submarine forces than risking a surface attack. I would also point out that there were two other, less dangerous supply routes to the USSR through Iran and via Vladivostok, and that getting American supplies was perhaps even more valuable as a way of filling gaps in the command-economy war effort of the USSR than the number of tanks and airplanes that arrived. As an example, the Soviet factories were ordered to mass produce tanks in the Urals factories, but the Soviet leadership overlooked the need for large quantities of trucks to supply modern mechanized armies, a gap the US was able to fill.
The Germans atacked everything they have found. German Sailor: German Captain:
Damn teamkillers!
Mark it as pink!
lololololol it remenber the Z1 that was sunk by ally Bomber :P Germans Teamkilling since 1940's.
Denied!?
i enjoy and appreciate the content you provide wargaming! thank you : )
Thankyou for producing these videos, I remember reading about PQ17 and the Arctic convoys as a boy in The Purnell's "Battle of the Atlantic".
Well, this was what every Italian convoy to Libya suffered to resupply the front,and we sent a lot of convoys :/
Top notch production. Greatly enjoy these vids.
In the Malta Convoys, it was said that the arrival of 1 ship was considered a victory, such was the difficulty of the task.
This outfit has put out some really excellent little documentaries ... short, but with as much information in them as the typical, repetitive documentaries you see on the major networks. Plus, the animation is sweet!
World of Warships, awesome series! Absolutely loved it and look forward to more like it in the future.
Incredible footage from ww2..on these ship's..on convoys and sad too..Thank you so much for your videos and channel too greatly appreciate it too..
Any plans on doing a Naval Legend for the USS Houston?
Very good documentary, very intéressant. God bless all these brave men. Thank you, good job.
We must never forget that out of all the allied nations russia had the most sacrifice, we as allies could have never done it without that sacrifice. I'm gettin' all teary eyed.
actually china did, but yes. The sheer death and sacrifice is unimaginable
According to wikipedia the soviets did have 6-7 million more deaths
All though the Russians struggled more than any other allied nation in the war, they were still just as evil as the Nazis when Russia was the Soviet Union.
" I'm gettin' all teary eyed." tell that to the Finnish people
hitler only try to engage left flank because we wants a fast victory to engage to real flank left..... russia its all about russia not us... "the great power we have to destroy it" hitler feel this way... that why he plain strategic against russia first you help me then when te time come we sabotage you a try to kill you FAST.... but russia is big and fast isnt a word that use there
great naval legends video as always WG, really love it!
Very solid content with top-notch production. Thanks, as always, Wargaming, for furthering the historical education of the casual wargamer in all of us!
MORE :D
Much appreciated that Wargaming aren't going to let history be forgotten. The more people that can be reached, the better.
Excellent series
Love the aircraft animations
make the Atlantic Convoys
Just watched the First Episode
My daddy was in the Arctic Convoy JW-57 at just 17 years old aboard HMS Black Prince. He is now 94 years old and living in a Nursing Home. He will always consider he did a good thing for the Russian people. He remembers seeing the joy on their faces when he arrived at the Russian port. He received the Russian Ushakov medal, which he is very proud of. And we, his family, are very proud of him and what he did during WWII as a boy sailor... Just a few months later, on the 6th June 1944, his ship played a critical part in the D-Day Landings at Utah Beach.
History of the Arctic Convoy JW-57
20 Feb 1944
Allied convoy JW-57 departed Liverpool, England, United Kingdom. It was consisted of 42 merchant ships, was supported by 2 tankers and 1 rescue ship, and was escorted by 4 corvettes (and later reinforced with destroyers and frigates, one being HMS Black Prince).
23 Feb 1944
A British Swordfish aircraft sank German submarine U-713 near Allied convoy JW-57; all 50 aboard were killed.
25 Feb 1944
A British Catalina aircraft sank German submarine U-601 near Allied convoy JW-57; all 51 aboard were killed. At 2055 hours the British destroyer HMS Mahratta (G 23) (Lieutenant Commander E. A. F. Drought, DSC, RN) was hit by a G7es acoustic torpedo from German submarine U-990 about 280 miles from the North Cape, Norway, while escorting the stern sector of convoy JW-57. The destroyer exploded and sank within minutes. HMS Impulsive (D 11) (Lieutenant Commander P. Bekenn, RN) and HMS Wanderer (D 74) (Lieutenant Commander R. F. Whinney, DSC, RN) were quickly on the scene to pick up survivors, but only 16 survivors could be recovered from the freezing waters. The commander, ten officers and 209 ratings lost their lives.
28 Feb 1944
Allied convoy JW-57 arrived at the Kola Inlet near Murmansk, Russia.
10 Mar 1944 arrived safe in Scotland.
They should do a Naval Legend on the Fletcher-class destroyer USS Johnston (DD-557) ("tincan" or the USS Enterprise, true naval legends.
should I say that the animation is way better than most of the war documentary
What is with WoW’s music? It doesn’t matter if it’s main screen, loading screen, defeat or victory, or this documentary
It will hit you *hard*
WoT and WoA, both have background music is there so you have something to listen to
In WoW, the background music is there to support you, give you feels, it’s there to hit you hard as you either lose, or win victoriously
Especially when they were telling the story about the HMS Somali
nevertheless the convoys succeeded in their mission and that's what matters
i like the animations, great work!
I saw another doco on PQ17 and it put the blame on the Top guy back in England who was suffering from a brain tumor and died shortly after. There was no good reason for all the escorts to leave or for the convoy to scatter. The idea to scatter was proposed to avoid Terpitz and her group being able to take out the convoy and escorts in one go but when the decision was made there was strong evidence that Terpitz was returning to base to avoid the British task force, that's what I remember of it anyway but it's online to watch.
love Naval Legends series
Hang on.... the story of PQ-17 I know is that the Royal Navy pull their military ships back because they couldn't afford to lose them and that Tirpitz had only warm up her boiler but never left her moorings
How can some people dislike this? DON'T DISLIKE IT DOESN'T MEAN: Dis I like
Brave sailors, all of them, regardless of nation. Respect
Does anyone know where the memorial at the end of the film is located please. My father served 41 - 46 on these convoys as telegrapher on a minesweeper, doing about 13 missions. Also I got the Arctic Medal on his behalf but wondered is the Ushakov medal given to allies also or only Russians please?
WG should really make WW2 Pacific/ Atlantic war movies with these cgi they got, they would seriously climb to the top
Actually for me it's quite sad that the PQ-17 convoys been left behind unprotected from any attacks from their escort ships... like come on.. that is what the main objective of escort ships to safely protect the merchant ships until they reach their destination... how much damage can the merchant ships do to the enemies??
They had to take a serious gamble in doing so. Tirpitz was made with the idea of making the ultimate convoy destroyer. It could single-handedly sink a convoy much like PQ-17, escorts or none, leaving it out to roam the Atlantic unhindered was a serious threat to all convoys in the area.
From the perspective of the British Admiralty, letting a single convoy out to the wolves in order to sink Tirpitz was much better than seeing one convoy make it safely, then dealing with the potential damage that Tirpitz could cause, which would be leaps and bounds larger than just a single destroyed convoy. They're gamble did not pay off, however, and they paid dearly for their mistake, but considering the facts they had at hand, it was a legitimate decision to make.
+Matthew Lum hmm I think I can give you a credit for that... the decision made by the admiral must been a very tough one they have to leave that convoy unprotected and been destroyed by the air units..
just a hint - you may want to put the ships these brave men served on into the captions telling us their names; sometimes it's a bit unclear what perspective (i.e. Merchant Navy or Royal Navy) the story is being told from
9:52 DAT TORPEDOBEAT, BETTER THAN ACTUAL PLAYERS
Oh please make this a game mode! Convoy attack/defend would be amazing.
thearizona131 Yes,It would be very cool
We should have campaign missions, (with perhaps some actual story involved), with something like PQ-18 and such. Plenty of stuff, WG.
Very sad but so amazing at the same time!
Brings tears to my eyes.
Very good videos and important to remind everyone every now and then why it is we are here living the god lives we do x
Absolute warriors.
9:50 WASD Hacks
I'm hoping that this series of two video's is a shadowing of a convoy escort mission to come...I'm going guess here that they've got land based German aircraft modeled.
I haz been waiting for dis
Convoy ship torpedobeats at 9:47 XD
Héroes! WW2 👌
"HOLY SHIT TIRPITZ IS SAILING TO KILL THE CONVOY! COMMIT ALL AVAILABLE WARSHIPS TO ITS LOCATION, CONVOY SAFETY BE DAMNED, THAT BATTLESHIP MUST DIE!"
Admiraltyyyyy...... you DO realize the Twins Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are still prowling out there and you wanted all your ships to one lumpy Tirpitz? where'd the Renown stalk around when that thing can behave as the convoy's capital ship?
9:46
*Starts playing Running in the 90's*
Бой начинается!
How horrible is that to say your family died on a Atlantic convoy! I.feel bad for these guys
I love WG
9:48
*eurobeat intensified*
although the USA have alot of museum ships, they arent in good condition
Iowa is not in good condition. Among a lot of things, her deck is still rotten, the floors of the interior halls are warped, most of the electrical and plumbing don't work, and most significant of all, Gun 2 of Turret 2 is still destroyed. She may still have a new coat of paint, but she is broken inside.
As I wrote in a poem about Iowa;
"Fresh and new on the outside, But old and worn on the inside."
I couldn't agree more. I went to the Hornet about a year ago, paint is starting to chip in the engine spaces, water damage is really evident in the piping, it's a mess.
I tear up whenever I look at pictures of the USS Salem, the last heavy cruiser in existence. Paint is wearing away, rust growing on machinery from gaps in the paint, and there's weeds growing up from the deck, fucking *weeds.*
The Hornet is privately funded. They get no supplementation from the US government. She desperately needs to be dry docked to repair the below water damage, but there are no funds to fix her, not to mention there are no operational dry docks in San Francisco Bay that can take her. We would have to tow her north to Seattle, or south to San Diego or Long Beach
I've been trying to raise awarness of the need to repair these ships, hell I've even swollowed my pride and emailed President Trump himself and any of the candidates to try and get them to take notice and offer federal funding to fix these ships, but I feel the only way we can save these ships is if everyone puts pressure on Congress, Trump and their State Legislatures to free up funding
Alabama and Drum are in damn good condition
This is no future without past. It is easy to forget it. But how to live so
Actually the British, sort of, did it again. They didn't properly protect American forces practicing for D Day landings and E boats sank an LST. British were supposed to protect them, but barely provided half the required protection they promised to provide. A LOT of US Army soldiers died thanks to that.
They actually send a blockade force at the E boat harbour but before the blockade force arrive a good number of E boats left their harbour and sank not one but two LST.
German Pilots: Look! Enemy convoy, let's fly as los as possible
them torpedo beats
За Антон Гурин.
Next episode about Bismarck pls
Sad to realize we are the last generation that can meet with veterans WW2
brave brave fellas
is wows gonna have submarines tech tree ?
"we saved a lot of people we saved about 40 people" uh ok lol probly a mistranslation. theres a few others in there too lol other than that sweet vid yo
It means: My ship picked up 40 people in one trip to the sea. And this is a lot.
Can you do the USS Lexington (cv-2)
Lady Lex had a relatively limited service life (considering that it was sunk in the first major carrier battle of the war), but they could do one on Saratoga which saw through to the end of the war.
Matthew Lum USS Saratoga CV-3 could work.
Is this a Russian documentary by any chance?
Yes it is
I believe that is my maternal grandfather Captain A B Macrae at
9:50 torpedo beats
why was the historian talking as if he was part of the battle?
Future scenario?
Early squad assemble!!!!!
Anyone know what the music that plays at 3.05 is called
they should put submarines on the game
Allies you should have not sent escort's for pq 17 hunt Tirpitz that is a dumb idea because first of all the supplies are more important and if you leave them unguarded there sitting ducks out there they hardly have any weapons on them
Do USS Enterprise CV-6 I don't care whether she stayed alive or scrapped she deserved it
Must be nice to have a Museum ship that can fire its' main battery v.v If our Museum ship fired her battery half of Norfolk would be gone v.v
Zackery Shaw i think its animated but idk
Even if it is or Is not , Wisky wouldn't be so good to let her main battery talk once :3
That kind of content add so much value to the game.
could be nice to see things from a russian point one time.
even if your part wasnt glorious as americans because of political point of views russians are those who put the most of theyr soul into this war.
the russian part of the war is so silenced but so important, how many of your mens have gone to the fight knowing they will probaby not survive.
why thoses guys dosent deserve a place into here?
Do the U.S.S. Laffey
"so we should fight the war until the end" no shit sherlock
Hale to the Northern Allies of 1941-1945!
I would like to Thank YURIY KRYUCHKOV for his work here in Wargaming! Without english as a 2nd language, these types of mini-documentaries are a real BITCH! The language gape (or dare I say Barrier) of the many dialects, but the 38 countries that use it as a main language. And all the prior service members can attest too, releasing ANY info that isn't Heavily redacted. I get the translator stuff (softwares) but even those are not up to snuff. Unless you can get a person born in 1 of the Leading economic countries, with the higher educations, I mean think of the mirriad of rules and s.o.p's Go to this department no go see so-n-so, you need form _____ ity _____ etc........ Then mix in the relationships between some of these countries!! HOLY SHIT STORMS! But through all of it Mr KRYUCHKOV and his team, I say to you, THANK YOU!! I have 22 yrs of service with 75 Ranger Regiment and I know, It ain't easy Damn near impossible just a couple of years ago. You most definitely earn your paychecks! Please keep up these VERY informative videos please! I look forward to them.
-SALUTE-
what is this a Swastika in a WG Video??
No one can stop Lesta!
I really appreciate that a part of the money i give you when i buy wot gold is use to make some great content like this one. That still not make it up for you terrible matchmaking :D
