Operation Neva was launched in January 1944 from two
separate positons: the hitherto isolated Soviet beachhead
around the town of Oranienbaum on the Gulf of Finland west
of Leningrad and from the Pulkovo Heights south of the city.
On January 14th, two Soviet armies of the Leningrad Front
(army group) jumped off and crushed through the lines of the
already severely depleted German 18th Army. Over the course
of the first five days of the offensive, the confident and
well-equipped Soviet troops cleared the coast, linked up the
Oranienbaum position with Leningrad, and liberated the town
of Ropsha. In the following days, they succeeded in pushing
the line some 100 km away from Leningrad and thus ended the
nearly three-year long Nazi siege.
