I read Harrison's Salsibury’s “The 900 Days. The Siege of Leningrad'' years ago. Grim stuff. Over a million Leningraders are buried in Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery.

I read it as well. The savagery on the Eastern Front in WW II is astonishing. I have read that large sections of the battlefields there are still thinly populated today. After the end of the Cold War, there was a spate of tank and aircraft recoveries by professional restorers.
