Force Benedict : Churchill's secret mission to save Stalin

World War II fighter pilot Eric Carter was one of the members of a secret mission code-named "Force Benedict". The men in this mission were dispatched to defend Murmansk, Russia's only port not under Nazi occupation. If Murmansk fell, Soviet resistance against the Nazis would be difficult to sustain and Hitler would then be able to turn all his forces on Britain. Many members of the mission thought they would never survive, but they did, and were threatened with court martial if they talked about where they had been. Seventy years later, Eric Carter tells of his experiences in Murmansk, the largest city north of the Arctic Circle.
