What is Battle for Malta about?
Situated Between Sicily And The North African Coast, The Mediterranean Island Of Malta Was From The Early 19th Century A British Territory. The Importance Of The Island To The British Empire Was Never Greater Than During World War 2, When Its Location Made It Of Vital Strategic Importance To Both British And Axis Forces. Ideally Located For The British To Disrupt German And Italian Convoys To North Africa, The Loss Of The Island Would Have Fundamentally Altered Britain's Ability To Maintain Its Presence In Egypt And The Canal Zone And, Thus, Ultimately Britain's Chances Of Victory.
