Blamp Head’s Reviews > All Hell Let Loose: The World at War, 1939-1945 > Status Update

I spent the week just gone whining to my wife that we had too many things on; we were too busy with social commitments and I was tired. And now I'm listening to a chapter on starvation in Leningrad after Operation Barbarossa. Privation, temperatures 30-40 degrees C below zero, people so desperate for food that they ate horses, pigeons, rats, pets and eventually some resorted to cannibalism. The contrast is stark.
