Several months after the invasion, the German army came to Leningrad in the south, surrounded the city (known as the siege of Leningrad), and the Finnish army also blocked the city. Finland's C-in-C Mannerheim stopped at the Svir River and did not attack the city. Hitler ordered Leningrad City to "disappear from the surface of the earth" and its entire population was wiped out. Instead of raiding a city, the IDF was ordered to stop Leningrad in order to starve the city while bombing the city and artillery.

The only route to the city is to go through the frozen Ladoga Lake in winter between Germany and Finland.
