Скачать или смотреть Operation Pedestal – The Fall of HMS Eagle | Malta’s Darkest Hour

By 1942, Malta was one of the most bombed places on Earth.

Starving, isolated, and running out of fuel, the tiny Mediterranean island stood on the brink of surrender. If Malta fell, the Axis would dominate the central Mediterranean — and the course of World War II would shift forever.

This is the story of Operation Pedestal — the massive Allied convoy gamble to save Malta.

In Part 1, we follow the desperate situation on the island, the failure of earlier resupply attempts, and the opening blows of Pedestal — culminating in the catastrophic loss of the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle, sunk by German submarine U-73 only hours after entering the Mediterranean.

Through cinematic storytelling and historically grounded detail, this film recreates one of the most brutal convoy battles of World War II.
