Soviet Storm: World War II in the East | The Siege of Leningrad (Episode 5)
Episode 5: Leningrad, a vital and large Baltic sea port, is facing the entire weight of Army Group North. On the 8th of September 1941 the Germans reached Lake Ladoga and the city turned out to be cut off from the 'mainland'. The Soviets have no reserves to spare as the Battle of Moscow is about to begin.
Death from starvation began to threaten the population of Leningrad. The ships of the Baltic Fleet, anti-aircraft guns, artillery and troops of the Red Army defended the city and the 'life road' that became operable after the frosts. Multiple attempts of the Soviet Command to break though the encirclement failed one after another. Wilhelm von Leeb's Army Group North fails to take Leningrad, but begins a horrible siege that will last 872 days, in which over a million civilians will die of starvation and disease.
