It was the Leningraders that had pinned down large Nazi forces; it was the Leningraders who sent military equipment manufactured in the besieged city to the defenders of Moscow in the most crucial days of the battle. Indeed, Leningrad sent more than a thousand of regimental guns and mortars to Moscow’s defenders in the last quarter of 1941 alone. Weaponry made in the blockaded city continued to go to other sectors of the Soviet-German front too. It was the Leningraders’ contribution to the common victory.
