Summary Part of "The Mediterranean in WWII" week on WW2TV James Holland, needs no introduction - writer, historian, TV presenter and one half of the We Have Ways podcast with Al Murray. He joins us today for a chat about Malta in WWII. In March and April 1942, more explosives were dropped on the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta than on the whole of Britain during the first year of the Blitz. Malta had become one of the most strategically important places in the world. From there, the Allies could attack Axis supply lines to North Africa; without it, Rommel would be able to march unchecked into Egypt, Suez and the Middle East. For the Allies this would have catastrophic. As Churchill said, Malta had to be held "at all costs".
