Captain Axel W. Pearson, war shipping representative in 1942 to Murmansk and Archangel reported: "I never saw such courage as our seamen have. They've got the same spirit those Russians have." Captain Pearson, Swedish-born American, for many years master of U.S. merchant ships, tells in his report to War Shipping Administration how he was attacked three times by air and submarine on his trip from America to Murmansk and experienced day and night bombings by the Germans during his four-month stay at the Russian ports. Captain Pearson is now a War Shipping Administration port captain for San Pedro, California

American sailing delayed. Held for over a week in box cars on the Polish border, 1,200 demobilized Polish-American soldiers had a hard time waiting to get into the port of Danzig, on the Baltic sea, to sail for the U.S.A. But the arrival of the American Red Cross from Warsaw, bringing them a carload of clothing, tobacco, chocolate and extras, as send-off before sailing, took all the kinks out of their trouble. First the closing of the Kiel Canal and then a small overflow revolution in Danzig tied things up. This picture shows one of the main streets during the uprising
