This content discusses a chapter from Alexander Werth’s book, ‘The Year of Stalingrad,’ which provides an insightful portrayal of WWII events concerning the Soviet Union. It highlights Werth’s journey in the PQ-16 convoy from Murmansk to Moscow, offering readers an in-depth view of the war from an ordinary Soviet citizen’s perspective. Despite his work being overlooked due to his left-wing views and refusal to entertain anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, the narrative praises his bravery and sincerity.

ALEXANDER WERTH [PART II]: RUSSIAN ARCTIC CONVOY PQ-16 – Reykjavik (Iceland) TO MURMANSK (USSR) – MERCHANT NAVY SHIP “EMPIRE BAFFIN”! (2.9.2023)

Alexander Werth’s 1947 book, ‘The Year of Stalingrad’, details the journey of Merchant Navy Ship “Empire Baffin” during WWII. The ship left Middlesborough, UK, for Reykjavik on May 1, 1942, arriving ten days later, and then sailed to Murmansk, USSR, on May 20th. Despite Nazi Germany’s control of the sea, air, and land, and losing seven ships, the Convoy PQ-16 of 36 international ships managed to reach port under the protection of naval fleets.

Alexander Werth [Part I]: Russian Arctic Convoy PQ-16 – Middlesborough (UK) to Murmansk (USSR) – Merchant Navy Ship “Empire Baffin”! (2.9.2023)

The Russian Arctic Convoy, PQ-16, sailed from Iceland to the Soviet Union in late May 1942, providing vital military and civilian aid amid attacks by Nazi Germany. The fleet comprised British, American, and Allied ships, including the Empire Baffin that Alexander Werth traveled on for four weeks as recorded in his book ‘The Year of Stalingrad’. This account, along with further research, allows for a timeline to be reconstructed for these events, however, full details are limited due to the secrecy required during wartime. Convoy PQ-16 consisted of 36 Merchant Navy vessels, some armed for self-defense, and a number of Royal Navy ships acting as protection. Werth’s account also mentions controversial language used to describe the African-descendent members of the Merchant Navy crew.

Alexander Werth – USSR [1942]: Moscow-Front – Examples of Soviet & Nazi Propaganda Leaflets! (19.9.2023)

As a consequence, the US continuously stocks the far-rght and keeps its embers burning from one generation to the next! This is why the work of Alexander Werth is difficult to find nowadays. This British Journalist could read, write and speak Russian, and was privileged in the USSR between 1941-1945 – being taken to the front-lines to see for himself what was happening. Furthermore, he was allowed completely free movement without NKVD supervision. His eye-witness information is an inconvenient contradiction to all the racist lies perpetuated by the US government and its pathetic lackeys! I include below two (2) anti-Soviet – and one (1) anti-Hitlerite – propaganda leaflets (compiled by the Nazi Germans and Soviets) which Werth acquired on the Soviet (Moscow) front-lines. The anti-Soviet leaflets are aimed at the average (ordinary) Red Army soldier and talk of ‘capitalist’ England and America being the greatest threat to world peace! The anti-Hitlerite leaflet informs the average Nazi German soldier that his leaders are hypocritical capitalists ‘pretending’ to be ‘Socialists’!

Alexander Werth: [1942] Soviet “Guide for Partisans”! (16.9.2023)

Indeed, when the Trotskyite – George Orwell – was asked by the incumbent Labour Party to compile his infamous (1948) ‘list’ of well-known left-wingers he suspected of possessing ‘Communist’ sympathies – the name of ‘Alexander Werth’ featured prominently! This was because he refused to follow the decreed US requirement for all history to be ‘altered’ and ‘distorted’ so as to make the Western working-class ‘hate’ the Soviet Union! This interfering in the historical record is so remarkable that Werth’s near ‘eye-witness’ account of the ‘Battle of Stalingrad’ (which changed WWII forever) is not only completely ignored by Western authors who came after him – but seldom known to even exist!

USSR: The Vatican and Hungary’s 1956 “Neo-Nazi” Uprising! (22.8.2023)

In 1956, however, just eleven-years after the end of WWII and a Holocaust which had seen the fascist Hungarisns purge their country of hundreds and thousands of Jewish people, urged on by the US – the former soldiers of the (fascist) Hungarian Army took to the streets (together with their young converts) – and attempted to destroy the Socialist System and re-establish a pro-Western, pro-capitalist – totalitarian system that was anti-Russian and anti-Soviet! Within Socialist parlance this was clearly an attempt at a counter-Revolution – but all over the internet (and within faulty Western discourse) this fascist uprising is referred to as a ‘Revolution’. Does this sound familiar? It should do – as it is exactly the same policy that Obama unleashed in Ukraine in 2014! This is how Alexander Werth explains these events:
