In the months during the siege of Leningrad, the air war was crucial. It was hard to keep air superiority
over the city and its outskirts. Therefore, the German Luftwaffe consistently attacked the city, trying to
demoralize the population. In this snapshot, we will re-create a German bomber raid on Leningrad in mid 1942.
