Just listened to the pod cast...interesting  but painful. No real sense of the drama and intensity of the siege.
Academics not story tellers. No wonder Melvin sounded grumpy!

Anderson, as always superb stuff.  Noticed a detail I was unfamiliar with - in the next to last photo (that of the defenders, right above the photo of the great Turkish bombard), what is that Maltese blue (green) banner with white shapes ?

The banner is fictitious...I added it based on a local design of three fishes.
Sorry for any confusion. Just a bit of fun.
