Siege of Leningrad

Siege of Leningrad was a was a prolonged military blockade undertaken mainly by the  Germans in Leningrad. The  Finnish army  would attack from the north in order to regain territory lost in the Winter War. Although they didn't attack the city as the Germans hoped for, they still attacked and blockaded supply routes to Leningrad.

The siege of Leningrad was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history. It would last for 872 days.

Although the Red Army managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on January 18 1943, the siege would not be lifted until January 27, 1944.
