General Georgy Zhukov's first attempt to break the blockage of Leningrad used an assault across the Neva River. The Germans acted immediately to contain the assault, leaving only a sliver of land 500 meters deep by 1,400 meters wide, which the 330th Rifle Regiment could hold only because the barren landscape offered no cover for advancing forces. Under constant attacks for weeks with small groups of reinforcements crossing the river at night, the "Five-Kopeck-Bridgehead" offered the slimmest shard of hope in the early days of the siege.
