Another 4,500 thousand were captured by the Nazis where not only many managed to save their lives. Among the civilians were millions dead. Only one survived the Leningrad blockade is not more than 800 thousand citizens.

Heavy were the times and the people who remained in the rear of the battles. Their heroic work on the edge of its capabilities, to the front of ammunition and military equipment, uniforms and food.
