2ND WORLD WAR MAPS

I apologise to veterans - I was not there, being the next generation down the line I hope this site acts as a point where we will not forget the part Malta played in defeating Axis powers during 1940-43.

Rommel's aim was to capture the oil fields to the east. This would have given Germany unlimited reserves of fuel oil & derivatives. From this base Rommel could have linked up with the German offensive in Russia, struck out towards India & joined up with Japanese forces. Also a southern front on Russian oil fields would have starved Russia in the eastern front of fuel oil & set up a strong base to attack Russia.
Malta was the key in stopping Germany resupplying Rommel. On this perhaps depended the outcome of the War.

'Malta was the most consistently heavily bombed place on Earth during WWII.'
'More than once a million pounds of bombs were dropped on the island in 24 hours'.
Not only was the Island heavily bombed but most of this bombing was concentrated in small areas such as the Harbour & RAF airfields.

What's this topic about? It seems you want a map on Malta, but there is one being made already... then you say that you already knew that and that malta was used to attack africa and italy, so what exactly is your map idea about?
