Leningrad 1942

The Germans had serious plans and done quite a lot of preparations for an attack on Leningrad in 1942, usually this topic is brushed aside as a side-show. Yet, Adrian Wettstein in his phd "Wehrmacht im Stadtkampf" (Wehrmacht in Urban Combat) clearly shows that the amount of preparation was far from minor and that even units from Heeresgruppe Süd that was headed for Stalingrad and the Caucasus (Case Blue) were redeployed. Manstein's 11th Army was replenished and almost up to authorized strength in stark contrast to other divisions. Additionally, a lot of artillery was brought in from all over the Reich, as such the "artillery fest" at Leningrad outmatched that of the Siege of Sevastopol. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » redbubble - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop » SOURCES « Wettstein, Adrian E.: Die Wehrmacht im Stadtkampf 1939-1943.
