It was, in fact, the Russian side who lost - as historical records say: 300,000 military personnel, 16,470 civilians from bombings and an estimated 1 million civilians from starvation and illnesses caused by such. Lack of food became so desperate, all open ground in St. Petersburg turned into vegetable gardens, which eased the vegetable supply by 1943 a bit. Divers went down to ships sunk in the sea to get out the grain bunkered in them, this disgusting wet stuff was used for baking bread. German forces counted 725.000 men under the command of Wlhelm Ritter von Leeb and Georg Küchler, the Russian forces of 930.000 men were commanded by Kliment Voroshilov and Georgy Zhukov. The siege lasted from Sept.8th 1941 to January 18th 1944 and ended with a Soviet victory
Tourists at St. Petersburg can visit the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery..More than half a million victims of the siege are buried there.

Gee all you had to do was look up which country Leningrad is (was) in on Google or such. Yeah Sunny 1968 summed it up well, it was the Russians alright. Lest not forget all the original invading troops of the German army group North who invaded Russia at the onset of Barbarossa and the rest of the units deployed to Leningrad after the onset of the invasion of which none ever returned to Germany(except for minute individual handfuls). All perishing as a result of the Leningrad battle/siege. Also quite a few thousand counts of cannibalism by starving Russians is a sordid example of the outright brutality of the entire Eastern Front War.
