The Siege of Leningrad: 900 Days of Terror

Colonel David M. Glantz - 2007

Overview

In 1941, German forces encircled Leningrad, severing its connection to the rest of Russia. The city endured a siege lasting almost three years, during which its inhabitants faced immense suffering amidst the harsh Russian winters. Despite the extreme conditions, the population's resilience was remarkable.

Over a million men, women, and children succumbed to starvation and hypothermia. Nevertheless, Leningrad held its ground and refused to surrender. The prolonged struggle concluded in 1943 when the Russian army successfully broke through the blockade, reconnecting with the city's defenders and marking the end of one of World War II's most devastating sieges.
