Hi all,
The purpose of this thread is to post general information regarding bomb disposal efforts by the three arms of the British Armed Forces on Malta between 1940 and 1944. Malta was one of the most bombed places of the Second World War, being on the receiving end of more bombs than London and Coventry during the worst parts of the Blitz, in a shorter time, in a smaller area. Bomb Disposal efforts were key to keeping civilian morale from failing, military operations from stalling and preventing unnecessary deaths. The disposal of these bombs also gives us a window into certain trends in both tactics, and
Despite its immense importance, it is a topic which receives little mention in Wartime records of Malta. Therefore, I have decided to research this topic to uncover new information and provide a new angle to the bombing campaign over Malta, as well as the efforts made by the valiant few who put their lives on the line to protect others from harm.
This thread is going to be an overview of the organisation, members, and general information about the bomb disposal campaign in Malta.
