Today the Knights Hospitaler still exist. The Ottoman Empire does not.

Visited Malta to pay my respects to all brave people who defended the island and freedom

They were no match for the Ottoman Empire??? Really ? When Suleiman the magnificent lay siege of Rhodes 1522 the lost around 100000 men . They let the Knights sail away and at the siege of Malta there where 532 knights and maybe 6000 militia against 69000 of the Sultans Elite troops . Both the grandmaster and the Sultan had a healthy respect for each other.

Knights of St John unsuccessful or not a match for the Turks? What a joke! Don't try to tell history if you don't know it! 1480 siege of Rhodes- 500 knights and maximum 4000 regular troops vs. 100,000 Turks= Victory for the Knights of St. John

Stunning island and going for the 2nd time Feb 2017. Looking forward to visiting Fort St Angelo and the Birgu area this time. Well recommend a visit. Like to find out more about the Knights as well - just reading Ernie Bradford's Great Siege book which is great. Thanks for posting - great documentary

Im maltese but malta is no longer safe as it was since we joined eu our culture is roted sadly

That is what a fullhearted person and what a true knight!

A wonderful documentary! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Malta has been critical to the history/culture of Europe, and certainly by way of the Knights of St. John. 'Bravo', to Malta, its people, and its history.

I want to know what is going on under ground and under the ocean of this planet. Who are these other people walking amongst humanity ?

A hospital should be a place of public service to all at no cost...the salaries and costs will be split amongst the population...directly...it is a matter of life and death...and it requires the utmost attention...we have taxes...we have printed currency...there is no need for any of what humanity is suffering...
