Gibraltar's Secret Wars

During World War II, whilst most of Europe suffered under the Nazi jackboot, a tiny speck on the map, Gibraltar, stood defiant. While Spain played a precarious game of neutrality, this formidable British rock became the linchpin for Allied victory. It wasn't just a fortress; it was a lifeline, pumping supplies to British forces in North Africa, Malta, Crete and beyond to the Far East. The Rock became a sanctuary for thousands fleeing Nazi oppression.

As the tide turned, Gibraltar transformed into a launchpad, poised to strike back. Hundreds of brave men and women were taken by night in small boats to be infiltrated behind enemy lines. But Hitler wouldn't let it stand. He, along with Mussolini's Italy, devised a web of covert operations to cripple the Rock.

These articles delve into the untold stories – the clandestine missions, the whispers exchanged in the dead of night, the battles fought not on land or sea, but in the shadows. It was a time when sabotage and intrigue were a way of life for some. Prepare to be surprised by the lengths to which both sides went, as the fate of Gibraltar, and perhaps the war itself, hung in the balance.
