In August 1942, the British Royal Navy launched Operation Pedestal, a strategically important convoy to the Mediterranean island of Malta blockaded by Germany and Italy. During the operation, the convoy suffered huge losses from attacks by German and Italian submarines, aviation and torpedo boats: an aircraft carrier, two cruisers, a destroyer and 9 transports.

We offer for viewing the Italian newsreel of that time, dedicated to the battle with the British convoy.
