THE GERMANS
REACH THE NEVA RIVER
August 30, 1941
THE NEVA RIVER
LENINGRAD, USSR
Now St. Petersburg, Russia, again
Nine hundred dark days were to follow, with catastrophic casualties. The Wehrmacht cut off the last rail connection to Leningrad on August 30, 1941, and the last land connection on September 8, 1941, which seems to be taken generally as the start of the Siege of Leningrad. There is a new book by Anna Reid on the seventieth anniversary called LENINGRAD: The Epic Siege of World War II, 1941-44 (see here).
