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.
