World War II - Siege of Leningrad
Time: Monday Sep 8, 1941
Place: Leningrad, U.S.S.R. (Present Day Saint Petersburg, Russia)
Details: The siege of Leningrad was a military blockade undertaken from the south by the Army Group North of Nazi Germany against the Soviet city of Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). The siege began on the 8 September 1941, when the Wehrmacht severed the last road to the city. Although Soviet forces managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on 18 January 1943, the Red Army did not lift the siege until 27 January 1944, 872 days after it began.
