  • "Why did the British First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, scatter Convoy PQ17 into the Barents Sea on the evening of 4 July 1942? Two thirds of the merchant ships were subsequently destroyed, yet not a single one of the warships assigned to protect them was lost; a circumstance that brought the wisdom of the Admiral into question. Was it just the threat of attack by the German battleship Tirpitz that persuaded Pound to order the escorting men-of-war to leave their charges? Or was there some other,obscure reason? No-one seemed to know why Pound acted as he did and information surrounding the events remained an official secret for a long time. It might have remained so longer but for the revelations of a dead man talking."
