The siege of Leningrad was the longest ever endured by a modern city, and the deadliest siege in recorded history. It lasted for nearly 900 days, from late August 1941 to late January 1944, bringing unparalleled hardship to the population. Out of over three million persons in the city more than one million lost their lives through cold, disease and starvation, bombs and artillery fire.

I purchased the big ‘Now & Then’ heavy books. Although interesting they don’t have any bibliography so you can’t always be sure if the photo matches the blurb.

I once got in touch with the editorial team asking why there was nothing from the
Eastern Front.

The answer I got was unsatisfactory and made zero sense.

My take is that it would have taken time to actually research an area that they couldn’t just lift from lazy archival newspaper cuttings

Then the grifters realised they had been rumbled and sold the shop.

Then I saw Eastern Front releases like this one. Hmmm? But these are from their magazines.

Bottom line I’m not sure if I can trust these publications
