Description

The island of Malta bore the brunt of the Axis powers' relentless bombing campaign during World War II. The civilian population faced unimaginable terror as unexploded bombs littered the landscape, threatening daily life. In response to this crisis, the Royal Engineers Bomb Disposal Section was deployed to tackle the problem. Based on official records and personal accounts, their extraordinary story unfolds. Over 3,000 raids in two years tested their resolve, as they battled through violent storms and scorching heat to reach and render safe thousands of live bombs. Their work was a testament to their professionalism and dedication, as they approached each bomb with caution, mindful that it could explode at any moment.
