That was the Fourth International and not just the US SWP. In particular,
Trotsky saw this as a way to aid the defense of the Soviet Union. I recall
being told a long time ago that a lot of SWP'ers served in the US merchant
marine for the Murmansk Run. Apart from this, I understand the SWP's position
was revolutionary defeatist in WW II.
