The Lascaris War Rooms http://www.wirtartna.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2483 are atmospheric - if they're open, they were shut when we were last there.

The best read is Malta: The Thorn in Rommel's Side - Six Months That Turned the War by Laddie Lucas. You'll find it there in (expensive) bookshops if you don't have time to get it before you go.

Don't miss the stuff about the Great Siege in 1565 either, if you have time read Ernle Bradford's book The Great Siege: Malta, 1565. Also the prehistoric stone circles are awesome, visit Hagar Qim and Mnajdra.

Malta is a great place to go if you're interested in history.

I will be visiting Malta next week, does anyone know of any WW2 related exhibits / museums worth paying a visit?

TIA

I was there on a conference a few years ago and If you have a diving license I can recommend an exhibition that is 15 meters below the surface right in the outer part of the Grand Harbor of Valetta HMS Maori, a tribal class destroyer that was sunk by Stukas in 1942...

Very easy dive and very accessible from the shore of the harbor...

EDIT: Oups - old thread but I stand by my advice for other people visiting Malta And there is a Blenheim and a Beaufighter amongst other aircraft out in the ocean... Rather deep though in most cases...

The Aviation Museum is great! they have restored a Spit IX and a Hurri recovered from the sea:

There's the remains of a Swordfish awaiting restoration:

A Tiger Moth which apparently is airworthy:

There are many raf fighter combat reports describing the interception of bombers and kills etc but where are the accounts from the german bomber crews and escorting fighters? I am very interested to read them.

Any help much appreciated.

You must look for "Flugbuch" or "Leistungsbuch" (pilot Logbook) like this:
