World War II was fought on a scale unlike anything before or since in
human history, and the unfathomable casualty counts are attributable in
large measure to the carnage inflicted between Nazi Germany and the
Soviet Union during Hitler’s invasion of Russia and Stalin’s desperate
defense. The invasion came in 1941 following a nonaggression pact signed
between the two in 1939, which allowed Hitler to focus his attention on
the west without having to worry about an attack from the eastern
front. While Germany was focusing on the west, the Soviet Union sent
large contingents of troops to the border region between the two
countries, and Stalin’s plan to take territory in Poland and the Baltic
States angered Hitler. By 1940, Hitler viewed Stalin as a major threat
and had made the decision to invade Russia: “In the course of this
contest, Russia must be disposed of...Spring 1941. The quicker we smash
Russia the better.” (Hoyt, p. 17)
Once the Siege of Leningrad began in the fall of 1941, the Soviets
knew they were in a desperate struggle to the death. In fact, the
Russians wouldn’t have even been given a chance to surrender if they had
wanted to, because the orders to the German forces instructed them to
completely raze the city: "After the defeat of Soviet Russia there can
be no interest in the continued existence of this large urban
center…Following the city's encirclement, requests for surrender
negotiations shall be denied, since the problem of relocating and
feeding the population cannot and should not be solved by us. In this
war for our very existence, we can have no interest in maintaining even a
part of this very large urban population."
Even though the Nazis never managed to entirely cut off that supply
route, during the nearly 900 day siege, which lasted from September 1941
- January 1944, at least 750,000 civilians starved to death, one out of
every three or four members of the pre-siege population. The siege was
so devastating…
