1943 Breaking the blockade of Leningrad
75 years ago, on January 18, 1943, Soviet troops broke through the blockade of Leningrad in the Shlisselburg area. A railroad was laid along a corridor 8-11 km wide to supply Leningrad. However, since the corridor was shot through by German artillery, the bulk of the cargo still entered the besieged city along the "road of life" through Lake Ladoga.
