The Horrors Of The Siege Of Leningrad | War On The Eastern Front August 20, 2020 Unipro2013main Featured Documentaries, WW2 Documentaries </p> <h2>Siege Of Leningrad</h2> <p> As the seat of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and a centre of Soviet industry, Leningrad was a prime target of Hitler’s Russian invasion. Supported by the Finns, intent on recovering territory they had lost in the Finnish-Soviet Winter war the previous year, Nazi forces rapidly broke through the city’s lines of defence, many cobbled together by its civilian population.</p> <p>This film – which features rarely seen archive footage now digitally restored – explores the Siege of Leningrad, which lasted from 1941 to 1944. It was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history and one that claimed the most casualties.</p> <p>Credit to : Timeline – World History Documentaries</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors -
