My dad sailed to Archangel as a 15 year old on the arctic convoy's aboard a merchant aircraft carrier(MAC).
He is a very shy person, and doesn't think what he did was special, as far as he was concerned it was a job. There is an organisation of arctic convoy veterans, but he has never joined.
He has some horrific stories about the cold and being attacked by U boats and Focke Wolfe Condors, and other German Bombers.

You might look up a book called Ivan's War by a historian called Merridale, if you haven't already.
(no I don't get royalties)
The experience of the the Eastern Front must go down as the most extreme event in human history, even before you get to the contemporary propaganda (and modern versions), genocide, and destruction.
