It was besieged for nearly three years, the great city's population suffering terribly in the bitter cold of the Russian winter. Over a million men, women and children died of starvation and hypothermia, but the city fought on and never surrendered.In 1943 the Russian army broke through to link up with the garrison and end the longest, bloodiest siege of the Second World War. |
