I believe that this info indicates that the NE & NW passages were both ice free between 1940 to 1944. You believe wrongly with typical wiful interpretation of material.

The only explicit reference to ice-free conditions in your reports is for the NE Passage for one whole month in September 1940.

You have a note about the (second ever) crossing of the NW Passage by the St Roch between 1940 and 1942. Please note that the St Roch was breaking ice the whole way through its 2.5 year journey, and was frozen in over the two winters of this voyage. The passage most certainly was not "ice free" in this time.
