On September 8, 1941, German troops broke through the Mga station and captured Shlisselburg, cutting Leningrad off from the rest of the country by land. This day is now considered the beginning of the Leningrad Siege.
Many excellent books have been written about the Siege as a whole. However, most of them concern the events to the south and east of Leningrad, leaving the front to the north and northwest of the city largely untouched. This book aims to fill this gap. When writing it, the main emphasis was placed on publicly available Soviet and Finnish documents, as well as on the research of Russian and Finnish military historians and the recollections of eyewitnesses. As in his previous books, the author tried to use materials from each of the opposing sides in a balanced manner to ensure a balanced presentation.
The publication uses graphic materials from the photographic archive of the Finnish Defence Forces (SA-Kuva) and various public sources.
