Watching this made me realise when we pay respects on remembrance day we forget about the many brave souls that served in the merchant navy and without them the war would not have been won
There are many that remember, just not many films made about it. My Grandfather was a merchant navy Engineer. Of his graduating class of 20, only 3 made it through the war.
(Don't feed the troll)
A friend of mine who works at the Raddison at Steamtown father was in the merchant marine with the US Navy, America also shipped lend lease supplies to Britain and were frequent targets for U boats
@@TopDrek Cry about it.
@@pvt.potato1943 Well, one day we'll do something about it.
@TopDrek Yeah sure, the south will rise again!
The film is based on convoy PQ-17, a large convoy of 35 merchant ships, 6 auxiliaries, and and 22 close escort ships, running from Iceland to Murmansk and Archangel, Soviet Union. Three ships aborted because of mechanical issues. When losses mounted, the convoy was ordered scattered, and their escort was ordered back. It made the merchants easy targets. In all twenty-four of the merchant ships are lost, either by U-Boats, Luftwaffe aircraft, or both.
One merchant, the SS Paulus Potter, a Dutch-flagged steamer, was abandoned when it appeared they would sink after bomb damage. The Potter didn't sink. It remained afloat and was found by the U-255. A boarding party came aboard, tried the engines and failed, so they took all of the useful materiel, including classified documents, and scuttled the ship. Not before they also captured the ship's colors.
Only ten ships of PQ-17 made it to the Soviet Union, offloading 70,000 of the original 200,000 tons of war materiel.
German aircraft and u boats absolutely ravaged that convoy
A big part of the reason the escorts were withdrawn was that the German battleship Tirpitz had sailed. In fact, she was merely shifting her harbor, and would never come near the convoy. But First Sea Lord Dudley Pound was unwilling to take the risk, and ordered the convoy to scatter. Pound would die of a brain tumor in October 1943.
That is not what happened with PQ-17. The escorts were never “ordered back”, a German battleship the Tirpitz sallied out to meet the convoy. Instead of seeing the entire convoy picked off at once it was scattered into smaller units that would then make their way to Murmansk alone. This decision proved folly however as Tirpitz was never able to even reach the waters in which PQ-17 was sailing, and much of the convoy was lost to submarines. It was a disaster, but one which was immediately corrected upon (the return convoy had zero losses) and one which ultimately did not have a major effect on the war either way. In total less than 5% of Allied tonnage to the Soviet Union was disrupted by the Germans that year, and less than 1% the year after.
There is an account of the P17 convoy in David Kenyon's new book, Arctic Convoys, Bletchley Park and the war for the seas. It gives details of the intelligence that was known at the time.
but the Red Army won the war all by itself?
The world has forgotten the merchant mariners who has served the world for thousand of years.
And died in untold numbers doing it. May they all rest in peace.
What is sad is that Merchant Mariners themselves have forgotten their great professional ancestors most of them now join for the money. Not my views: a merchant captain once himself lamented this.
@@user-oq2rk7ep8f decades of peace will make people SOFT.
@@TricksterPoi Funny because I see your profile is full of anien and video game bullshit. Which wars did you fight in touch guy?
@@ShadowJester-jg2gs Look at his profile. He has to be fat on a daily diet of chips living warm and toasty in his room playing video game and watching cartoon dance videos. But he wants war.
My Uncle was Royal Navy. He completed Arctic convoys. His last convoy was to Malta. The whole convoy was lost. He was eventually picked up by an Italian ship, that was sunk too. He was a prisoner till the end of the war. He remembered men crying for their mothers in their last moments. He was a very intelligent man and it haunted him for the rest of his life. He drank heavily but was a fully functional family man. RIP
thank you
There were loads of convoys to Malta - can I ask which one was this? I undertood that most of them got through. Obviously the italian ship you mention was sunk by allied forces. this is a period of WW2 history that really intrests me.
My uncle was also on Arctic convoys on ack-ack cruiser HMS Coventry. This was eventually sunk in the Med, I assume on a Malta convoy. They were divebombed by Stukas after an experimental early warning tactic failed. They had to abandon ship, which was listing heavily. He told me that it was like jumping off the top of a ten-storey building, after which he went all the way to the bottom of the Med and back up again, the only bloke on the ship who couldn't swim.
@Arthur54321 I couldn't tell you which one. It was a subject you didn't bring but just listened. He died in the late 1980's. Wish I did know more. He told several people different parts and we shared with each other. He was a signaller. He used to show me the flag system.
@eddiegibbs1 my uncle was in hospital years later. The doctors said he was hiding newspapers and food. He thought he was back in the prison camp. But he recognised my aunty when she came to see him. After that he told my aunty he would never go hospital again. My aunty was a lovely lady and I still miss her. Even after 30 years.
My father was responsible for the design and building of a Memorial Wall, in a park, in a small town on the East Coast of Australia. He had four bronze plaques cast to be affixed to the face of the wall. The Royal Australian Navy (RAN), The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) The Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) and the Merchant Navy (MN). His stepfather was in the Royal Navy during World War II and was involved in the Atlantic Convoys. He has never forgotten the stories of the Merchant Mariners. It's one of the few Memorials that I have seen that honours all four arms of service during the war.
My dad was in the RAN in the Pacific and the MN after the war. He survived a Japanese bomber that dropped its bombs on them, straffed and was hit and took out the conning tower and most of the guns. He took 2nd degree burns over a third of his body. Most died. He remembered rolling and rolling to put out the fires on his body as he burned. He used to come out in rashes over those parts of his body when he got too stressed for the rest of his life. Was always a hard man but never had hard feelings towards the Japanese despite spending a year after the war going island to island to command small groups of Japanese soldiers to surrender. Often they had more ammunition than the ship he was on had as they didn't get resupplied for a long time. He believed the Japanese showed great honour and valour in the way they fought and disliked people being racist towards them as was common in the post-war era. He would have loved this movie. RIP dad.

@@ashpitcher3 Yup. My memory ain't as good now that I'm over 60.
@@coolhand1964 I can relate 😂
My Grandad was a merchant sailor during this time, working in the engine rooms of cargo and troop ships. I can't imagine what he and his fellow crew went through. Unsung heroes.
Higher casualty rate than the RN!
Many of the sailors were 'Empire subjects'...Hong Kong Chinese, Africans etc.
Growing up in the 1980’s in West Wales, I fondly remember an elderly gentlemen in the congregation of our church in Llanelli who served in the British Merchant Navy during WW2. I don’t know how many times he crossed The North Atlantic but my father told me he’d survived two ships being torpedoed and sunk. Nice man, quiet, reserved, and always had a smile for you. I was old enough to visualize what that might have looked like but not mature enough to understand how that experience must have impacted the rest of his life.
My Great Uncle was torpedoed in the Arctic whilst in the UK Merchant Navy in 1943. A much forgotten theatre that should get way more attention. The fact they didn't get recognition with a campaign medal until 2012 is insane sadly he had passed by then.
As young adult, I would attend Robbie Burns night here in Calgary with my dad, who used to go with my Grandfather. He had a friend named Bob. I took my grandfathers place at Robbie Burns night and got to meet bob in his 90s and final years. Bob was a british man who moved to Canada shortly after the war.
He told me some insane stories of his years delivering supplies and weapons to the soviets and that of his group of 5 frigates in the larger convoys, his ship he was a part of was the only one that wasn't sunk by the end of the war. He told me of the prisoners in the gulags they delivered too, trying to scramble aboard the ship that would be shot or detained. Nothing they could do as the Soviets where allies. Hours upon hours of chipping away the ice building up on the ship. He couldn't stand any mention of war in the news.
RIP Bob. Thank you for your service.
Thank you to all the Nordic and Western allies who saved my great-grandfather and thousands of thousands of people by providing much needed supplies for the Soviet Union.
Thank you for your immense sacrifice in defeating the Nazi's.
yea, shame we did.
Shades of the novel Ulysses about Arctic convoys. Scary stuff
I remember reading that book when I was young. It was terrifying and bleak. Not the usual story that you read back in the 60s.
@@stevepalmer3838 I watched Greyhound and went on a binge. Ulysses followed by The Cruel Sea. Both scary in the extremes. The Cruel Sea was mostly man vs nature. Ulysses was man vs winter and the Germans. Terrifying
Actually the book is titled "HMS ULYSSES" and written by Alistair McLean. (There's also the book "Ulysses" by James Joyce, different thing. Hell to read.)
Yeah, Probably the best story & narration on the subject; second perhaps the witness accounts in the BBC documentary The Battle Of The Atlantic.
Reads like eating a cupcake!
Looks like it's inspired by the story of PQ-17 based on this snippet.
Norwegians couldn't make anyting original even if they tried. Coming from a Norwegian.
@@fred6907 You don't sound like a Norwegian, too whiney.
@@krashd How many copies of cookie cutter Hollywood garbage movies with cringe Norwegian dialogue do we need? Basmo is apparently the only actor we can reuse a million times, zzzzzz.
Ever since Greyhound was released I couldn’t wait for more movies like it
To me Greyhound had one major flaw: no storm inside of the boat.
Winston Churchill..."The Artic convoys were the worst postings of the war".
God bless those brave souls who helped to keep our freedom. ❤
But they had Tom Hanks, right?
@@JZsBFF double chuckle! We had Clark Gable! We had Van Johnson! And of course we had Marlena Dietrich! Marlena did her best to torpedo Adolf Hitler!
@@ashlyknapp1798 [Sigh] Those were the days of great propaganda war movies. Erroll Flynn, the cutest para commando ever.
My Great Grandfather was an American Merchant Marine. Bravery.
I grew up on my paternal grandfathers war stories. He spent his war escorting convoys to Murmansk aboard HMCS Huron and always spoke very highly of the Merchant Marine sailors. I'm trying to not get my hopes up but I'm excited to watch this.
Will be hard pressed to equal "Greyhound" as a WWII convoy movie.
I very much doubt that, if it is historically accurate then it will far exceed that Hollywood action movie.
Bits of Greyhound were a bit silly: the captain chatting to the flyingboat on R/T for instance.
They communicated by flashing short messages in Morse in real life.
'Chatting' on the radio is like putting up a banner saying 'sink me'.
It's what sank the Bismarck...the captain sent a long message to German HQ in France over the radio, the British intercepted it, fixed the location, and sent in the Swordfish.
Direct hit on the rudder, and that was it. Game over. The pride of Germany crippled by a single shot from an open-cockpit biplane.
It's not what you've got: it's how you use it!
Me before the trailer: Not another WW2 one....
Me after trailer: This is the way
Not enough WW2 films. So much to tell.
I'm as burned out on WW2 as I am Superhero movies.
My dad was on HMS Nigeria, on the Russian run as he called it. Then on pedestal to Malta when they were torpedoed on 12 August but Italian submarine Axiom. He had to shovel his mates into sacks. Then went to south carolina where the ship was fixed. He went on to sweep mines for DDay when his flotilla were attacked by RAF Typhoons and many were sunk. Then to Japan but by that time the bomb dropped and probably saved my life.
Really looking forward to seeing this movie, it is about the unsung heroes that made everything possibe
One of my uncles was in the Merchant Navy on the Atlantic convoys, torpedoed 3 times. Such bravery in these men❤❤
Reminds me of Greyhound, I love this setting for WW2 movies, its been very overlooked by media for so long
My Dad's brother was in the Merchant Navy and took part in that convoy. His ship was sunk, but he survived.
We só often forget that just because Norway was conquered doesn’t mean she was out of the fight; the Norwegian navy & merchant marine fought hard throughout the war, as did forces-in-exile from Poland, Belgium, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, & France
Would’ve been cooler if this was about operation highjump
My partner's father served on the navy escort ships during the russian conveys to Archangel. His ship (HMS Punjabi) was sunk in the fog by a larger naval vessel (HMS King George V) because they couldn't see it and the very primitive radar passed straight over the top. He was one of a handful who survived.
God bless your partners father We Russians remember heroes of Arctic Convoys
Looks amazing! If it opens near me, I'm going to go see it!
dont think i ever seen a ww2 film on the side telling about a merchant navy espically norwegian. Can tell this is gonna be pretty good
Looks good can't wait to watch.
Let’s see if it can hold a candle to The Cruel Sea.
Wow, someone finally made a movie based on PQ 17. Or loosely based on it
Stalin never appreciated the great sacrifice of the PQ convoys to send him war supplies. He treated like it was expected, taking it for granted, because he was fighting the bulk of the German armies. Never mind for years he supplied Germany with the raw materials for them to invade Europe, and signed a pact with Hitler to divide up Poland between them. So much for honor between thieves.
There's a museum for the Arctic Convoys on the NW coast of Scotland where they gathered, Loch Ewe.
Спустя 80 лет и норвежцы оказались отважными воинами и победителями...)))
I've severed in the merchant navy in the artic,it got so cold it froze the flame on my lighter 😂
Finally, movies are back with and about heros, not acolytes…
Grey Hound is an Epic film.
The trailer looks so good!
This looks fantastic.
It looks very good...
I'm looking forward to buying the Blueray...
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was in the merchant navy in the artic,it got so cold it froze the flame on my lighter 😂
Aiming that 40mm from within the cargo bay is fucking badass
No, that's just nonsense. You never will have the time to recognize course and speed, to aim and shoot on a plane if you sit deep in a hole in which you have at best one second time to do this. The whole movie is crap. The german bombers used air-surface torpedos and did not fly over the ships. And there are many other flaws in this story...............
Most of my family were Merchant Navy during the. I know of at least one of them (my granddads uncle) who did Arctic Convoys.
My great uncle was torpedoed 3 times in convoy and survived the war. The last time he was picked up by a Swiss ship!
It never ceases to amaze me how often you hear about people who were torpedoed more than once. And still they went back...and still they found crews for tankers full of fuel, or ships laden with munitions, and these guys would have their pay stopped if the ship was sunk...and it was freezing...talk about unsung heroes!
I want more movies made on the seven years war, American revolution & civil war tbh
Great movie, real life hero's! 🎉❤🏆
This looks to be a must see. I'm in.
I can't wait! Two men from my rural hometown in New Hampshire served in the merchant marine on the Murmansk Run in WWII. It had to be some of the worst duty in the entire war.
It's Iike somebody based a movie on the original box art of the Airfix JU-88 model kit. And I'm all over it! 👍
WOW!!! Good, Funny!
They need more transport, cargo movies of WW2. Seen greyhound. Anybody have any recommendations for movies they saw?
This movie will not be promoted by hollyweird....but i will be seeing it
Looks like a great movie!
With hindsight it is obvious the decisio to scatter PQ17 was based on duff intel and that they should have turned back.
The Arctic convoys were brutal, and it took decades to get a campaign medal - the Arctic Star - which was instituted on 19 December 2012 for award to British Commonwealth forces who served on the Arctic Convoys north of the Arctic Circle.
In contrast the USSR and successor state, the russian federation, awarded the Uskinov Medal from 1944 and onwards, to veterans - though it wasn't allowed to be worn (does anyone know if that was ever resolved?) due to Cold War shennaingans.
Ushakov's Medal is awarded even today in Russian Federation. It's one of the highest medals awarded for bravery in naval combat. 3,5K medals were send to British veterans who participated in those artic convoys.
This should have tied in with the “Atlantic Fleet” and “Silent Hunter” games.
Das Boot was a good film.
and the game you mention "Silent Hunter"
is a great game.
I would assume this is about convoy PQ-17 when the threat of the Tirpitz attacking caused the Admiralty to scatter the convoy with catastrophic consequences. I fear how poorly this film depicts that dramatic event but will probably give it a chance.
Okay, but when you say "theaters and streaming...." do you mean U.S. theatrical run, as well? Even if it's limited? Because movies like this should be seen on the big BIG screen in surround sound.
My home theater might not do this justice.
The Atlantic and Mediterranean convoys must have been hell on earth for the merchant ships and their escorts.
But imagine sailing to Archangel and Murmansk dealing with an extremely hostile environment. temperatures well below freezing and ever-present threats of german U-boats and aircraft.
The chances of survival after going into the sea would have been zero after an attack.
Some crew members from ships that were sunk spent weeks in life boats before they were rescued brave people they were
so who were the good guys here?
Might be a decent film, we will see. Though certainly an uncommon subject about WW2!
The VFX effects however in itself look over all decent, though in combination with the filmed scenes it's very easy to spot how unreal they look and how comp and post failed with bringing everything together.
And it clearly shows that pretty much everything we saw in the trailer was filmed in a LED cave and/or in front of green screens, as the light bleeding, incorrect light and shadows, incorrect depth and many of the other issues that come with these techniques are present.
Duck Yeah! Where do I get tickets?
I feel like I just watched the whole movie. Looks good though.
CGI makes it probably hard, just like in Dunkirk to picture a realistic (amount of) German plane for the given situation?
CGI would make it easier to increase numbers, not harder, Dunkirk didn't use CGI, that is why Dunkirk pales in comparison to the real horror of what happened there as seen in the movie Atonement. In Atonement you see the wreckage-strewn beaches with 300,000 men camped for miles upon miles with 40,000 vehicles and 8,000 horses, in Dunkirk you only get to see about 500 men and a couple of broken trucks. I like Christopher Nolan but his decision to avoid CGI in the first of his movies that truly needed CGI to show it's scope was a stupid idea, because people watching that movie without knowing that it is only meant to be representative of Dunkirk and isn't meant to be an accurate depiction of it just end up thinking "Wow, this is the thing the Brits make a big deal about? A few hundred guys trying to get off an empty beach?"
stunning and brave...
Probably the convoy named PQ 19.
Or 17, that's probably the more well known one, besides 19 was canned because of Torch anyway rather than the escort withdrawn during the journey.
I really want to see this ....
Glory to the courage of the Norwegian people
What language is this? Looks like a great movie, be better if it was in English here in the U.S.
Is that a Fairey Albacore at the beginning???
“Submarine starboard” *rotates anti aircraft gun* 🫠
That’s prakash raj on thumbnail 😂
Must watch
I don’t get the bit at 0:20. Why drop bombs into the sea?
depth charges
For Submarines
You are just watching but not listening perhaps you dont even understand
Reminds me of The Nightingale by Garth Ennis!!!
I hope they release an English dubbed version, nothing worse than reading a movie
Aw yiss. More additions to the convoy genre started by Greyhound.
War mostly about Logistic, Logistic and Logistic
I give this movie a HardStarboard
donde se puede ver en español?
imagine the convoy in the Grey Hound, but without Captain Tom Hank and his ship as an escort.
I had a Great uncle who died doing the Arctic convoys to Russia... Torpedoed!
My father served on theAmethyst onArctic convoy duty he received a medal from the Russians just a bit of tin really I think his last ship was the Belfast the same ship is in the Thames in London
Young Ragnar from TLK :)
This looks great!
yes!
It's similar to the Greyhound movie, isn't it?
Greyhound but it's colder.
The horrors of the Battle of the Atlantic were terrifying. Unlike most movies, the Germans were never spotted on the surface unless there was no escort and there was never challenges over the radio (Stupid Tom Hanks "Greyhound" movie). Death was certain if you went into the ice cold North Atlantic waters.
Jeg gleder meg til å se denne filmen, aldri glemmer de som falt i krigen.
What Norwegian outpost?
Alistiar MacLean: HMS Ulysses ;-)
Hope the overusage of CGI and green screen do not spoil this.
Dear Tom Hanks & Greyhound (2020),

What the Norwegian outpost still existed in 1942? Whole Norway was occupied by the German Nazis still in 1940. Or it is a story about the Svalbard garrison?
This looks good!
Hardly a new movie. It was released last year.
As usual with Norwegian war movies, decent. It got a 6.7 on IMDB
To all the fools who believe that the USSR could not have won this war without help.
First, find out how much of this the Soviet Union already had and how much they produced per year.
Yes, US lend-lease assistance helped. But not a single historian or specialist can say that this assistance played a key and major role.
If such help had not been available, the war would have lasted even longer, with a greater number of casualties. But the ending would be the same. True, most likely, Great Britain would no longer exist.
P.S.
For your information, a small country like Mongolia has supplied a huge amount of aid. Moreover, units of the Mongolian army directly participated in the battles.
P.S.2
Let’s not forget how much valuable American companies sold to Nazi Germany during the war.
N bomb around 0:43
My name says it all
i thought Tom hanks did all the savings.
Too bad there is only one movie that showed these battle from the good guys perspective :)
