Actually the body ... ( 2 weeks ago by MinixInt)

Actually the body armour was more of an inconvenience at times, especially since this war was fought throughout the summer months. In fact many knights suffered from severe heatstrokes.

Were the sharks inside the Grand Harbour or are you referring to the Turks as the sharks? :P

the sharks were ... ( 2 weeks ago by futuramark)

the sharks were drawn into the harbour since the sea was full of cadavres not a nice swim to take from one side to the other...however a maltese swimmer was swimming back of forth with messages and breaking every turk he met with his bare hands..he was a big guy hehe

I don't know where ... ( 2 weeks ago by MinixInt)

I don't know where you got your details from but there are no records of Toni Bajada actually engaging in hand to hand combat while swimming across the Grand Harbour. The only hand to hand combat in the sea that took place was in a case close to where the chain was put up.
Toni Bajada had to look out for attacks from Kalkara and Mount Schiberras. The trip was often done by boat as well, prior to Dragut's arrival. It was Dragut's idea to attempt to stop the reinforcement of St Elmo.

numbers doesn't matter... technology does. in the great siege we were greatly outnumbered yet we managed to hold off the ottoman empire.

Ma jien naqbeż għal ħadd. L-argument kien fuq il-klieb il-baħar u m'għandekx għalfejn tħarref u tħawwar l-istorja biex tgħid x'ġara. Mid-dehra la taf tikteb bl-Ingliż u lanqas bil-Malti int.

Futuramark,these shitheads you are calling have ruled the regions many years,yet no country has been ruled as much.You don't have to like them but respect the Great minds.

I dont get it,you called them barbarians,i see that happens several hundred years ago,let me pull the subject little away from this to Today's Barbarians,you are saying these barbarians killed childs and women and so on several hundred years ago while everyone had equal power and where everyone try to invade others.What Would you call Today whats happening In the middle east?in 2008,would you still call it barbaric?what is the definition Of barbarian for you?

is it when turks ... ( 1 week ago by astoria77)

is it when turks killed others or is it Others killed others?or is it depend on who killed who?so what i am saying is You are free to call anyone barbarian as well as with your definition of barbarian any country in the did the same thing to others.brits killed so many Indians on 18 Century,American killed Native Indians,btw 14 to 18 century,French Killed Algerian 20 century,german killed Jews in 20 century,and i can count many of it and have killed cildren and woman and old and and and

What would you ... ( 1 week ago by astoria77)

What would you called when European were killing each other in this century 19th 20th would you call it they were barbarian or it is ok with you them killing each other or innocent ppl.or only when turks killed ?anyway you better learn little more history.you may not respect them and you dont have to .But when i say great mind they have ruled this world 600 hundred years by then and there was powerfull Empire existed they did just like Roman did.

Yes there were europeans who were merciless sometimes...but the turks are known troughout history to be merciless brutes and uncivilsed and would kill everything even babies...europeans rarely did that

brits? there were ... ( 1 week ago by futuramark)

brits? there were only a handful of british knights...they were at odds with the other european powers..so dont be an idiot and go read some history first

Have You ever Seen a Country Invade another Country With LOve?You said Europeans who were merciless sometimes

The ottoman empire ... ( 1 week ago by frieupfortea)

The ottoman empire was not the 16th century equivalent of the British or USA, when the Ottomans went in the killed EVERYONE. Whats your point, cant you accept that along with the siege of Viena, the maltese siege was a pivotal point in european history. 'SICK MAN OF EUROPE' google it.
