World War II - Siege of Leningrad ended
Time: Thursday Jan 27, 1944
Place: Leningrad, U.S.S.R. (Present Day Saint Petersburg, Russia)
Details: On 27 January 1944, Soviet troops launched a major offensive that expelled German forces from the Leningrad region, thereby ending the most lethal siege in history. The siege began on the 8 September 1941, when the Wehrmacht severed the last road to the city.
