Hunger…..

             The most terrible test, dropped out from the Nazis in the proportion of the residents of Leningrad. During the siege died of starvation over 632 thousand innocent civilians, which consist of more than 42% of pre-war population of the city. The man who does not know what hunger does not understand these terrible figures:

             Daily allowance of bread, declared in the siege of Leningrad from 13 November 1941:

Workers – those who work in munitions factories -250 grams;

Dependents – elderly people, unemployed adults – 125 grams;

Kids -125 grams

And nothing more!

          Obviously, the human body has certain characteristics associated with nutritional deficiencies. From hunger, malnutrition, the first dying person prone to overeating and completeness; on teenage boys, then adult males, then old people – men, more women of all ages and the latest teenage girls.

According to someone I knew a woman in the darkest days of the siege of Leningrad – during the winter of 1941 – on the street lay the bodies of people dying of hunger. The surviving members of the blockade had no strength to bury them. Some corpses were cut buttocks…

During the blockade there were people – cannibals who ate fresh human flesh – they are either killing the residents, have abandoned or cut, just dead or dying on the street people soft places – the buttocks. Say, the man once in my life tasted human flesh, nothing else, it will not. It is the sweetest, most “delicious,” “delicious chicken.”

After the war, information about which more will be discussed – in the press never published in the Soviet Union. In Leningrad, it was revealed several groups of cannibals who killed babies, small children, and they ate. After the blockade, they are anything else, there could no longer.

BR-RRR!
