2)  The Siege of Malta: 1940 - 1942 - the Turning Point in the Mediterranean

By early 1942, all that stood between the Axis powers and victory in North Africa was the Mediterranean island of Malta. This episode examines the stories of Allied forces who defended Malta.

The siege of Malta was the most important battle in 1941 - 1942. The courage of the Maltese civilians in the face of indescribable bombing and the amazing Spitfire pilots, such as Canadian "Buzz Beurling", helped turn the tide in this critical, but little appreciated campaign.

In the spring of 1940 the island of Malta was far from war. But all that was about to change. With the war stretching out to North Africa, the island became critical in the Allies' ability to halt Axis supply routes. And so Malta came under direct fire from the feared Luftwaffe. In this episode of Battlefield Mysteries we hear from the soldiers who defended the island and the civilians that took cover in the underground bomb shelters while the bombs rained down overhead.
