Hell On Earth: The Siege Of Leningrad | WWII In Numbers | Timeline
The people of Leningrad held out against Hitler’s army group north for 872 days. That’s almost two and half years. With food in short supply due to Hitler’s desire to starve the city to death, citizens had as little as half a piece of bread to live on a day. So how exactly did they survive? In this episode we hear about the Road of Life, the notoriously treacherous ice road out of Leningrad and learn what lengths people really went to just to stay alive in this remarkable story of adversity.
