Uploaded by MoniksIsland on Apr 26, 2008
Between the summer of 1940 and the end of 1942, Malta became one of the most bombed places on earth.During this time a total of 3,000 air raids occurring during the two years of the siege. Killing 1,493 civilians and wounding 3,674.
On the 15 April 1942 Malta was awarded the George cross by King George V1 the highest civilian award for gallantry in the Commonwealth to honour the brave people of Malta. President Franklin Roosevelt, describing the wartime period, called Malta "one tiny bright flame in the darkness".

Beautiful video,mate.
I'm Australian born to Maltese parents.
I've never been to Malta but I hope to one day.
It's film like this that reinforces my pride in a country that suffered so much.
Long Live MALTA!

These videos should be seen by those people that are ashamed to say they're Maltese or Maltese Heritage.
We might be a small country but we are mighty. Our forefathers have given their life to keep Malta for the Maltese people, so why this generation are not interested to know how they became to exists from a land that no matter what everyone threw at her, she is still standing
VIVA MALTA HU IL-MALTIN
I'm proud to say that I'm Maltese, even though my passport says otherwise.
