The Sledge Patrol

Crucial to control of the North Atlantic during the Second World War was knowledge of the weather. For the wolf packs and German raiders that lurked in these bitter seas this was the vital ingredient that would enable them to cut the vital arteries that took convoys north to Murmansk and west to Britain. In 1942 the German trawler Sachsen set sail. Heavily armed and equipped, their mission--to set up a weather station in eastern Greenland and plug the gap in German reporting. Seven men stood against them. Using dogsleds to patrol 500 miles of the forbidding coast of eastern Greenland, their wartime mission was to guard against Nazi infiltration. It was a thankless and boring task in the freezing arctic conditions until they discovered a footprint on Sabine island. There followed one of the most thrilling stories of adventure of the Second World War, a tale of a silent chase and fight against a vastly superior enemy up and down the coast of Greenland and one of the most remarkable and important Allied victories of the war.
