在这部列林格勒剧情/历史/战争片中,列宁格勒(现在的圣彼得堡)被围困是现代史上最悲惨的故事之一,是人类历史上对一座城市最致命的封锁之一。纳粹军队在战争高峰期入侵苏联两个半月后包围了这座城市,将所有人困在里面,没有食物,没有资源,也没有逃跑的机会。将近100万平民死亡——大部分死于饥饿。
One of modern history's most harrowing stories, the Siege of Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) is one of the deadliest blockades of a city in human history. Nazi troops encircled the city two and a half months into the invasion of the Soviet Union at the height of the war, trapping everyone inside with no food, no resources, and no escape. Nearly a million civilians died - mostly from starvation.
