Few, if any siege in history, can compare to the grim, powerful story of the "Hero City" that lost one million of its citizens as it steadfastly withstood a 900 day German blockade. Like Stalingrad, Leningrad's refusal to buckle under seemingly insurmountable odds became a symbol of Russian resistance during Hitler's ferocious Barbarossa campaign. Subjected to air attacks, artillery bombardments, starvation and disease the population stood firm until January 1944 when the German forces were finally driven from the city.
