The Nazi siege of Leningrad lasted nearly two-and-a-half years until it was finally broken by the Soviet Army on 27 January, 1944.

Estimates of the death toll vary, but historians agree that more than one million Leningrad residents died of hunger and air and artillery bombardment in one of the most horrifying episodes of World War II.
