It was very shitty but probably necessary action.
I mean the nazis ended up nearly taking Leningrad anyway. Seems like it would have been smarter for the Soviet’s to save all those resources for making a “buffer zone” and just build some big ass magonet line along the border.
The Maginot Line, a famous story of success :-/
I guess the lesson here is that they had no good options.
I mean not a literal maginot line, but yeah know, I think beefing up defense maybe would have been a better strat than throwing so much into making all these buffers that the Nazis ended up blowing through in like a week.
They literally did, but due to close proximity to border, it was vulnerable. Nevertheless, it did played an important role in stopping Finnish offensive on Karelian Isthmus in 1941.
