Re: PQ17 - Arctic convey TV prog
I just watched it. It was nice to see JC being serious for a change and not prating about.
Nice program based on terrible events, the workers let down by the management.

Re: PQ17 - Arctic convey TV prog
Yeah, good program. Though Clarkson pratting about is usually pretty funny, it was good seeing a really good documentary from him. It does show he is a very good presenter.

Re: PQ17 - Arctic convey TV prog
A few points as Clarkson was wrong again.
Scattering was a procedure adopted by the RN when facing superior surface vessels. Tirpitz had sailed and was planning attack. Admiral Raeder got cold feet and turned Tirpitz, Hipper and Scheer around. The decision to remove the escort was disastrously wrong and Tirpitz was not indestructible as the Bismarck had proved. To leave a convoy to a U-boat wolfpack was basically murder. |

Re: PQ17 - Arctic convey TV prog
TB. Was scatter adopted by the Merchant marine too? Or was it just a RN maneuver?
Would the decision to scatter be taken by the admiralty, or by the commanders on the water? |
