About this book

"…this book provides a great deal of photographic insight about the siege. …there appears to be a wealth photographic history, much of which could serve as references needed by those modelers in dioramas and period staging for models themselves." - IPMS/USA The siege of Leningrad was the longest ever endured by a modern city, and the deadliestsiege in recorded history. It lasted for nearly 900 days, from late August 1941 to late January1944, bringing unparalleled hardship to the population. Out of over three million persons inthe city more than one million lost their lives through cold, disease and starvation, bombsand artillery fire. The severe winter of 1941-42 was by far the worst period of the siege, when food reserves ran out, rations dropped to a little over three ounces of bread perperson per day and regular supplies of water, fuel, and electricity stopped. Its epic sufferingand endurance earned Leningrad the title of 'Hero City of the Soviet Union'. This book is from an article in issue 123 of After the Battle magazine, the joint authors wereKarel Margry and Ron Hogg.
