Скачать или смотреть Surviving 900 Days of Hell: What They Ate During the Siege of Leningrad | WW2 History

Would you boil a leather belt for dinner? Imagine a city where a single crumb of bread is worth more than a diamond ring, and people are forced to scrape wallpaper off the walls just to drink the glue for a few calories of survival.

In this video, we uncover the harrowing and almost unbelievable reality of the Siege of Leningrad — a 900-day nightmare during World War II where the menu consisted of sawdust, pine needles, industrial grease, and sheer desperation.

We dive deep into the daily rations of the darkest blockade in modern history to reveal exactly what the human body is capable of consuming when the only other option is death. From the infamous "sawdust bread" to the tragedy of the "Badayev Earth," this is a story of absolute horror, but also of the unbreakable human spirit.

In this documentary, you will discover: 🍞 The Deadly Recipe: What was actually inside the 125-gram bread ration? belt Inedible Food: How people cooked leather jackets, joiner's glue, and face powder. 🌲 Chemical Survival: Why the city drank pine needle soup and ate hydrolyzed wood yeast. 🧬 The Seed Heroes: The scientists who starved to death while guarding tons of edible rice and potatoes. 🐈 The Cat Mobilization: How a trainload of cats saved the city from a rat plague.

This is not just a history lesson; it is a psychological journey into the limits of human endurance. Warning: Some details in this story are shocking, but they are a necessary part of remembering the price of survival.

Join us as we reconstruct the diet of a city that refused to die.
