Throughout 1941, the Soviet Union had been losing city after city to Nazi Germany. This all changed when Hitler set his sights on Leningrad. Despite laying siege to the city and starving its citizens for 872 days, Hitler’s army could not capture the city. What was it that made Leningrad so incredibly resilient?

Far too many adverts! *
The same reason he couldn’t take Moscow, maxed out logistics.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy😊. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days•❤️
Because the Germans will never win a war, they have a lil problem of taking on the world, n close or for moments in time they may appear to be doing great but it's a numbers game, ud think that's obvious who can be so stupid to not no math, well common sense vs insane vanity and false glory? War seems to be the only human trait we all have n won't stop hating, men anyway for trivial nothing reasons sentient yes, Intelligent, nah , I mean we blew off millions of years of energy in a hunned two hunned years did thousand of a bomb tests and never thought, the air is a lil different, but mother nature can take it, earth deserves more intelligent parasitics creatures to cut a deal with, people r a non starter
War is horrendous yet, still, we learn nothing.
so much historical content on ww2 it will never get old,
$14,000 weekly profit irrespective of the economy downturn ,crypto investment has brought me great achievement in life
I heard it was because leningrad was full of Russians
Same reason he failed at St. Petersburg 🤷💀⚡🦅
russians won because they had massive amounts of bodies and tanks
It went on for 8 months – 300k germans captured, no food or supplies
you disrespect the dead and allow the horrors of nazisim to be covered up when you block out pictures of the historical record of what happened…..
Lol , if that was today the city would crumble in couple of days the way they build affordable housing now .
The vile nature of Puttie Boy is enough to make one wish the Nazis had crushed the commie/socialist Soviet Union. Putin is a commie/socialist make no mistake; he is Satan's acolyte. It is up to Russians to take Puttie Boy down and then massive reparations must be paid to the Ukrainians.
Sun Tzu had some intelligent comments on such operations and it seems the Germans failed to heed the warnings and advice.
Cause the Russians wouldn't let him ?
My old friend was born there. As a boy his friends used to find war leftovers in the forests.
THUMBS DOWN FOR CENSOR STORIES
So pathetic that YouTube requires the censorship of newsreels from the 1940s
Simple. A front War benefits no army.
Siege of Leningrad was horrific ordeal for it's residents.
The Germans invasion of Russia (USSR) was based on a quick war , which after victory they would plunder oil and raw materials to rearm a depleting army, They would then be able to threaten UK with annihilation, And gain a peace treaty, once the quick victory failed his army and logistical support were dwindling into complete seizure,
This should be shown to every snotty Zoomer and Millennial that thinks Communism is great and that America is so bad!! I DARE THEM TO WATCH THIS!!!
Looking back, the U.S. should not have helped Russia. We should have let Germany and Russia fight it out and destroyed each other. The world would be better off today.
WW2 was Man vs. Evil and Man lost
Like no.327 👍😀
This is a very important documentary. I'm not liking the blurred out scenes.
a tragedy yes for the people there but shortly before it was the staging point to invade Finland which had been neutral one should present the full story
There are two important omissions from this documentary. First, the attack from Finland did not come from a blue sky. The false flag shelling of Mainila in November 1939 by Red army soldiers dressed up to look like Finnish troops was used by the soviet government as a pretext to invade, in what became known as Talvisota (the winter war). The Finns wanted to regain what had been taken by force in 1940. Second, no mention is made of the Leningrad city council’s failure to disperse food stockpiles in autumn 1941. When the sole food warehouse was bombed, the food crisis deepened severely.
Where were the Russian air force when the city was being shelled?!
Who did the people fear the most, the Germans or Stalin?
Excellent. i hope this is shown in all schools. Probably not, not woke enough.
Luckily for the Russians the Finns never marched into Leningrad from the north.
Luckily for Russia, the Finns were only interested in regaining their lost land and had no interest in conquering Russian land.
