This day in history - February 7, 1943:
Today, 68 years ago, the first train arrived to besieged Leningrad, bringing 800 tonnes of butter for the children of the city's orphanages and kindergartens. The same night another train, loaded with gun barrels, went from Leningrad to Chelyabinsk…. The writing says: "Motherland sends her fighting greetings to heroic Leningrad. Damnation and death to German-Fascist invaders who established a "new order" in Europe"
