World War II by Drone S01E03 - The Siege of Malta

To escape the relentless bombing, the Maltese were forced to survive underground. Desperate missions to supply the island led to Britain's worst submarine disaster of World War II. Follow conflict archeologists as they use cutting edge drone technology to explore the defenses of Malta, above and below water, and uncover how this tiny island was able to withstand the non-stop attack.
