Luftwaffe - Battle for Malta
http://youtu.be/jp5IF9ijeZQ
Between the summer of 1940 and the end of 1942, Malta became one of the most bombed places on earth.
Fliegerkorps X was an experienced anti-shipping unit that had fought in Norway and Denmark. 200 bombers and sixty-six fighters were pitted against the beleaguered Maltese defenders.
The RAF and Royal Navy's desperate fight to retain control of the diminutive Mediterranean island, and the defiant courage of the people of Malta, is one of the epic stories of World War Two.
