In the summer of 1941, German panzer spearheads
pushed towards Leningrad, Cradle of the Revolution.
Adolf Hitler declared the city's capture to
be the leading objective of Operation Barbarossa,
the June 1941 sneak attack on the Soviet Union.
Desperate to preserve the city
of Peter the Great, the Red Army repeatedly
made valiant efforts to stop the fascist hordes, and just
as often, the Germans rolled over and around
them. By
August the city had been isolated from the
rest of the Soviet Union, but its defenders
refused to yield. For 900 days they held against
savage Nazi bombardments, writing an epic
chapter in the story of the Great Patriotic
War.
