Narrow Escapes of WWII (2015)

S1E12 Operation Pedestal

In 1942, the struggle for dominance in the Mediterranean centers on the small island of Malta. British planes and submarines have been targeting Axis supply vessels from this strategic location. Determined to eliminate the threat, Hitler and Mussolini plot to overpower Malta. In response, Churchill organizes a massive convoy to brave the formidable Axis air and naval forces, aiming to deliver much-needed support to the besieged island.
