Death in the Dumbshafi - The Arctic convoys from Hvalfjörður and naval warfare in the Arctic Ocean 1940-1943.
This is the story of the Arctic convoys that sailed between Iceland and Northwest Russia from 1941 to 1943, the naval warfare and other conflicts that led to Iceland and Hvalfjörður suddenly becoming the center of navigation and naval operations. Thousands of people participated, often with great bloodshed and suffering. The convoys from Hvalfjörður to the Soviet Union and the events surrounding them had a profound impact on the most violent military conflict humanity has ever faced. The most powerful men in the world at the time turned their attention to Iceland, Hvalfjörður and the Arctic Ocean routes of the Atlantic. The consequences of these events are still felt today.
