Information on the Leningrad Campaign

[Rob S.]

I need information on the period before and up to the very gates of Leningrad.

* I need information of the dispositions of the Divisions involved. (German, Finnish, and Russian); their deployments and their goals.

* Weather before and during the Leningrad Siege

* Terrain and road conditions on the way and at Leningrad

* Locations of Sea Ports, Railways, Major forests and Hills

* Minor Cities

Danke im Voraus.

You're asking for an awful lot! First, it would be helpful if you could describe what you need the information for and what resources you've already checked into (so as not to duplicate efforts).

The siege of Lenningrad lasted from 1941 to 1943/44 so it is difficult to detail all of what you are asking for. Initially you mention needing info UP TO the gates of Lenningrad, but later ask about info DURING the siege. Is there a period in particular that you are searching for info on?

Hmm, the initial offensive lasting until the dreaded winter.
