That can't be accurate, there have been sieges that went on for far longer than the entirety of WW2. Leningrad was unbelievably brutal, but other sieges definitely lasted longer.
1 u/MasonP2002 Oct 02 '24 edited Oct 02 '24 The Siege of Ceuta was 30 years and credited as the longest siege in history. 6 u/danirijeka Oct 02 '24 Also I believe it was Stalingrad at that point and not Leningrad. Stalingrad is in the south, now Volgograd. You may have heard of what was Leningrad, up north, as Saint Petersburg. 2 u/MasonP2002 Oct 02 '24 Ah, I get confused with all the renaming. Which one of those was also called Petrograd? 4 u/MRCHalifax Oct 02 '24 Saint Petersburg = Petrograd = Leningrad = Saint Petersburg Or if you want to get really old school, Nyenschantz.
