About this ebook
This vivid combat history examines the role of German and Spanish artillery in the WW2 fight for control of Leningrad.
When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, it quickly established a blockade around Leningrad that would become one of the longest and most destructive in history. In an attempt to break the blockade in 1943, the Red Army launched an offensive near the town of Krasny Bor.
Previous works on the Battle of Krasny Bor have focused on the infantry involved, while little attention has been paid to the use of German and Spanish artillery in the conflict. In Ending the Siege of Leningrad, Spanish military historian Carlos Caballero Jurado corrects this oversight. Describing the action from an artilleryman’s point of view, Jurado puts the reader in the heart of the battle.
