The Siege of Leningrad was an unsuccessful military operation by the Nazi powers to capture Leningrad during World War II. The siege lasted from September 9, 1941, to January 27, 1944, when a narrow land corridor to the city was established by the Soviets.
During 900 days millions of people in Leningrad suffered from cold and hunger, being deprived of almost all supplies of food and fuel. Many thousands died. Here are some old photos made during those black days, overlaid with the modern city views, respecting the place and angle of view.
