During the Second World War, the people of Leningrad endured a brutal 900-day siege, facing relentless bombing, shelling, and starvation. In early 1943, the Red Army broke through the blockade, marking a crucial turning point. Despite setbacks, the Soviet forces and civilians held firm, and by late 1943, the Germans, weakened by harsh conditions, began to retreat.
In episode 202, we discussed the siege up until 1942. I’m joined once more by Prit Butar to pick up the story of the siege being lifted, which is covered in his latest book ‘Hero City: Leningrad 1943–44‘
