Just finished a very good book: Leningrad: The Epic Siege of World War II, 1941-1944, by Anna Reid. It began 9/08/41. Seventy years ago. Over half a million died.

Bookworm ping.

Half a million? I thought it was even more than that.

I'm pretty sure the death toll was well into the millions.

“Over half a million.”

Over = more than! :)
