This day in history. Part 1.
On November 10, 1941, the Tikhvin offensive began, which became one of the most important phases of the Battle of Leningrad. This, together with the liberation of Rostov-on-Don, became the first major offensive of the Soviet troops in the Great Patriotic War. If during the Tikvin defensive operation the main goal was thwarted - the complete siege of Leningrad and the connection of the German forces with the Finnish troops, then the offensive operation made the Nazi plan to disrupt the supply of Leningrad along the "road of life" through Lake Ladoga strategically unachievable. The Red Army advanced 100-120 km, liberated significant territory and defeated 10 enemy divisions, which lost more than 40 thousand men.
November 10, 1943 V.M. Molotov signed GKO Resolution No. 4534c "On logistical support for the construction of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant named after him. Stalin's People's Commissar for Medium Engineering".
