    Default Shlisselburg Fortress Lake Ladoga

    Visited this incredible piece of the Siege of Leningrad.
    This Fortress on lake Ladoga was occupied by German troops 8th September 1941. A Garrison of 350 Red Army soldiers was sent to the fortress on Orekhovets island to bring supplies and munitions to the front line. The garrison held the abandoned castle for 500 days preventing the Germans from landing there and cutting the last transit route from Leningrad to the mainland.
    Over 500,000 shells and bombs were dropped on the Fortress during the 500 days and the Soviets held out until the siege was lifted.
    You can see the battle damage on the ruins in the photos
