Leningrad endures a brutal siege, revealing endurance, starvation, and the battles to break the blockade.
Leningrad survived by trading dog-rated street food for coal with smugglers and municipal workers who hacked shortages daily.
Despite starvation, the city produced more bread per day than Nazi garrisons expected, via improvised steam-powered ovens.
The siege cut off radio communications, yet citizens used pet cats to silently relay messages through coded meows.
Over 900,000 civilians died, yet the city’s chorus of carilloning bells during bombardments became a symbolic shield for morale.
