The Unknown War is an American 20-part series that documents the World War II conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Today, SouthFront shares the third part of the series, titled “The Siege of Leningrad.” This part examines the revolutionary history of the city and its people, who proved their resilience in the face of the Nazi’s most vicious offensive during WW II.
The Germans launched their offensive on Leningrad early in September of 1941. They expected the city to fall into their hands within four weeks. However, they faced historic resistance from the Red Army and partisans.
This part of the series covers all the details of the battle, from early Soviet defensive preparations, to the struggles of day to day life in Leningrad amid the siege and the heroic sacrifices by the men and women of the city that made the victory possible.
It provides a close look at the counteroffensive initiated by the Red Army’s legendary commander Marshal Zhukov, which halted the advance of the Nazis.
Ultimately, the Nazis would suffer a humiliating defeat in Leningrad in late January of 1944. The brutal German offensive on the city claimed the lives of more than a million civilians. Nazi forces were never the same after the battle and the Soviet victory there proved to be crucial in dismantling the German Reich.

the siege of leningrad/st. petersburg is widely known, unless maybe you are from the third world?
i don’t think any gen y / z or millennial now would care two f*cks what you’re going on with and even know about it. derogatory referrals to so called third world inhabitants isn’t a smart tactic, unless you’re some yank d*pshit.
this does not change the fact that the soviet union was the first to wage a war of aggression on finland; i do not care who started hostilities in the 30 years war, back when russia annexed finland from the swedes. they also took control over the baltic states of estonia, latvia and lithuania.
according to heinz guderian’s memoirs ‘panzer leader’ amid other sources, it was in autumn/fall of 1940 that soviet foreign minister molotov met with hitler and presented soviet demands that germany recognize soviet interests in finland, baltic states, romania, bulgaria, and the dardanelles in turkey (presumably so that the ussr can gain unfettered access to the seas of marmara, aegean, and mediterranean.
germany’s largest access to oil (other than the ussr) was romania, and conquering it would have defeated germany at an earilier stage. the ussr already annexed bessarabia and the northern portion of bukovina
every day the anglo-us empire reaps the fruits of the soviet union’s destruction of the anglo-us nazi puppet.
nαζιστικης ?? μπερδεμενοσ εισαι !!
the main contribution of the jewsa to winning the war was crappy third rate jewllywood films of bargain basement heroics with a dollop of syrupy romance featuring errol flynn with pneumatic bimbos thrown in. they never fought outnumbered and without air cover. they just swanned around for 3 years doing f*** all till the wehrmacht had been wiped out in russia. then claimed all the credit posturing as top s*it after taking on the german fourth xi.
these people have always been a few sandwiches short of a picnic and detached from reality with an inflated idea of their own importance. they worship themselves almost as much as the kikes do.
‘dystopian puritan amerikunts’ makes sense, and they don’t like it either. 😢😭. 🤬🤬🤬
‘neurotic’ not ‘pneumatic’ ? but still shiksas for the hook noses.
in amerikan gay bars of past 58 years many nazi seize my anuz
if usa could’ve seen the future of how russian-orcs would repay the kindness of saving them from hitler with treachery…we would’ve let the nazis totally cleanse russia…
john 11:48 tells you exactly who is antichrist and why. yet you support it fully.

despite the best efforts of the american nazis, the anglo-us nazi puppet failed to achieve much beyond the deaths of 25+ million soviet citizens and 8 or 10 million dead germans.

many commenters here do not understand that russia destroyed the germans ability to conduct offensive operations after the german loss at kursk the us / allied forces just showed up for mop up duties and to keep europe / germany out of russian hands . attrition won stalengrad

no, they don´t. as the background of change, they should shape up and act as critical knowledgeable, responsible people, who reflect rationally and inspiringly on the article leaders in southfront.press. but many can barely argue and spell and acts like an ignorant mob – which currently means that change is a matter for elites/sub-elites contra counter/subelites.
during the second world war, the soviets defeated the nazis, including the nazi allies in ukraine, with hesitant support from the west. or did the west actually support the soviets?
today the russia is again fighting the nazis in ukraine, but this time the ukro- nazis are openly supported, even massively supported, by the west (europe and the usa).
οι αγγλοσαξονες, οι σιωνιστες και οι σοβιετικοι πολεμησαν μαζι τον κοινο ορκισμενο εχθρο τους τους ναζιστες !!!
the wehrmacht did not want to storm the city initially which was in line with german army guidelines to avoid the enormous casualties if ww1 (only they never expected leningrad could get supplied). in this regard it is really strange these guidelines were not followed in stalingrad where they did engage in urban battle and 200k german soldiers were lost (and 300k hungarians, italians, croats and romanians near the city).
