Dan Snow's History Hit · Knights vs Ottomans: The Great Siege of Malta · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

Are they also trying to put troops ashore and attack from the landward ends of these peninsulas? voice-verified

So the knights are building, they've got the fight against the Ottomans at sea at this end and they're also fighting them in sort of entrenchments and barricades at that end as well. voice-verified

What are conditions like in that through July? voice-verified

What are conditions like where we're sitting now? voice-verified

Were they running, were they had enough food and water or things getting pretty tough? voice-verified

It's incredibly hot. voice-verified

What is the tactics of the Grand Master? voice-verified

Does he just want to try and delay them, delay them and hope they have to return home before the winter? voice-verified

And what about the Maltese? voice-verified

Because they're just caught up in this enormous fight between these two, in some ways, these two foreign powers. voice-verified

Are they taking part in the defence? voice-verified

They weren't brought in yet entirely. voice-verified

Exactly, voice-verified

guess they knew that whatever happened tonight, it wouldn't be great for them if the Ottomans won. voice-verified

And after that summer, they must have been suffering from, well, they've lost loads of casualties, food, illness. voice-verified

It must have been grim. voice-verified

July and August were brutal for both sides. voice-verified

The endless pounding of thousands of cannonballs on the walls of Fort St. voice-verified

Angelo, destroying the churches, the hospitals, the houses of the Maltese town of Burgu behind the fort. voice-verified

In return, Ottoman ships were smashed to pieces by the night's firepower from the fort's batteries. voice-verified
