The Siege of Leningrad (27 Jan 1941 Jahr – 8 Sept 1941 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Siege of Leningrad: September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944

German and Finnish soldiers begin a nearly 900-day siege and blockade of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), the second-biggest Soviet city and a major center of industry. With supplies, water, electricity and transportation cut off, 1.3 million people are evacuated. As the Red Army finally begins to break through the blockade, the siege ends and the city is freed, but approximately 800,000 civilians die, most from hunger.
