The 872-day siege of the city began on September 8, 1941, when the Wehrmacht cut off the last road to the city. Despite Soviet forces opening a narrow land corridor on January 18, 1943, the Red Army did not lift the siege until January 27, 1944. This blockade was one of the longest and most destructive in history, resulting in significant casualties.
