Siege Of Malta: The Most Ferocious Bombing Campaign Of WW2 | Battlefield | War Stories

malta and laos the two most heavily bombed areas

Malta. Just another failure of Macho dictator Mussolini..

It would be so cool to do a historic tour of Libya. Too bad geopolitics in the current era make it dangerous. But I guess it's always been that way, Barbary Pirates and all...

Excellent, if summary, documentary.

I went to Malta as a child for a vacation one August in the early 90's. As we stepped off the plane, onto that rock, the heat was 40 degrees celcius (almost a record we were told) and I hated it. The bus journey to the hotel was insane, even with every window open. The next day at the beach, I fell asleep for 20 minutes in a small boat and woke up with heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Spent the next 2 days and nights in bed, vomitting, blisters covering my back, unable to sleep but watching the sun come up every morning through the window. I hated it. After I'd recovered, I refused to leave the hotel. Luckily I found they had a video arcade in the basement, so every day my Dad gave me 10 maltese pounds for drinks and credits, and I spent the entire last week playing Golden Axe and Hang On.

What a beautiful place. I studied abroad in Malta and stood on the Azure Window just a few years before it collapsesd. 🙃

Sorry about your luck

lot of talk about Greece when this is supposed to be about Malta - History Hits continues to be garbage !

Guten Morgen. Er zog kräftig am Faden und riss ihn. Er packte den Ast mit beiden Händen und brach ihn in zwei Teile. Er warf einen Stein und zerbrach das Glas. Der Wind zerbrach die Äste. Er schlug ihn und brach ihm die Zähne. Ich bin gestürzt und habe mir den Arm gebrochen. Mein Kopf wird explodieren.

Guten Morgen. Er gab etwas Zucker in die Soße, um den starken Tomaten-/Gewürzgeschmack aufzulockern. Ein weißer Kragen unterbrach leicht das Schwarz, das ihr Outfit dominierte.

An informative and wonderful historical coverage documentary about stubborn, furious remaining of military and naval forces of British empire & imperial commonwealth on Mediterranean sea and northern Africa shorelines...thank you 🙏( history Hit) page and (war stories ) channel for sharing

Lest we forget!! May all the gods bless the Allied Forces!! We will remember!!

Great Love to Malta from an Ozzie half cousin in Australia!! We will remember you!!

eye-ties shure had a poor navy ...

Excellent insightful and fascinating - great narrative.

I did not know the RN suffered so many losses in the Med.

More ferocious than the American bombing of Nagasaki or Hiroshima or the fire bombing of Hamburg and Dresden? I think not.
My second gf was from Malta --- so a soft spot for Malta.

So you are saying a metal detector would be overwhelmed. Rest in peace all you greatest generation.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Poor Italian. They were defeated everywhere.

a bit of advice mate, dont show Mountbatten and call him Keith Park,

72% destroyed by Malta before reaching Africa and surrendered ...lol.

Excellent video.
Germany made a huge blunder by not supporting Op Herkules. Had they done so right after taking Crete, or in March '42 when the Malta Hurricanes were eliminated, things would have gone differently in North Africa. Their partners (French & Italy) were not helpful either.

Thanks Great 👍 Video

Unimaginable what that generation endured. ❤

The bombing of Gaza was 70,000 tonnes of bombs by Israel.
