Fortified and garrisoned during the Second World War, Malta was of vital strategic importance to the Allies, both as the only British-held harbour between Gibraltar and Alexandria and, perhaps more crucially, as a base for air and submarine operations against Axis convoys supplying North Africa. https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/103962
