What Does Damage To The Basal Ganglia Do?

Besieged Leningrad, 1941-43. Deciphering German aerial

Friends, there is a very trivial task, with elements of mystery. For the inquisitive and attentive minds.
Dano, in the presence of: multiple sets of aerial photographs of German siege of Leningrad (November 1941, September 1942, January - September 1943). Filming of the Germans was carried out from a great height, in clear weather with no haze and in the states of the day when there's a big shadow on the objects to facilitate their identification (ie morning or evening).

need: to find, carefully examining the pictures as much as possible to take the front of the city, that is specific to military time. Here could be considered:
a) elements of masking objects, areal and point (eg, masking highway airport, the future "Pulkovo-1")
b) the following items troops, as one or the other, and their fortifications
a) the results of bombing and destruction
d) unusual terrain transformation, strange at once and in need of rational explanation (see also a)
e) the temporary facilities, eliminated after the break the blockade as unnecessary

Thus, under the cut is 32 images, plus 3 large aerial photographs (by clicking). The images are so:
"shot-key" (general), under the number. Then go to the key shot 2.1-detail with questions. Number of them, eg, 5a - with a prefix. Each shot is key just me, dated and indicate what kind of area. In the comments urged people who know Peter, or know a military perspective and which can explain obscure questions.
Anything interesting to see there - write your assumptions or even freestyle fantasies:)


1. November 16, 1941.
District Uritsk - Avtovo, Peterhof highway, this is where the front line.


1a. It is clearly seen built before the war and badly damaged area Avtovo. Chain of black spots at the bottom of the left - what is it?


1b. Black torn "holes" in fresh snow - the result of the bombing? Or maybe Work heavy artillery? Or something else?


2. November 16, 1941. Kolpino and strategically important area Izhorsky plant.


2a. Multiple black markings - a massive bombing?


3. November 16, 1941. Moscow avenue south of Electrosila and Baltic stroke w / e.


3a. What is it in the snow: black broken lines (diverging for 3-4 from a single point)?


4. November 16, 1941. District Slav (south of Fishermen). Point, massaged in some places: the bombing disposition of troops?


5. November 16, 1941. District Volkova Villages, current street Salova and north Kupchino (which extends a huge white box).
Large Photos (5) (2142 * 2133)

5a. Jagged line across the entire frame: fortification, spare position troops? And that on a frozen pond - markings on bombs? And at the top right, dark - Massive bombing of the factory area?


6. September 16, 1942. District Kolpino - Izhora plant. German staff officer struck his shot over the symbols.


6a. How can we interpret the symbols: a circle segment with two bends on the edges, cut with a gap, crosses, a small circle with three lines (like a thermometer)?


7. September 16, 1942. South Kupchino.


7a. What a bold bright line along the right side of the frame? How can it be to explain? What a broken line, visible on the far right edge? What a rectangular objects at the bottom left? Masking something? Or just any nursery? What kind of object, which is seen as a dead end Railway line? Can also disguise?


8. September 16, 1942. Fishing. Visible to the temporary pontoon ferry across the river - most likely used for military supply. What else is there to find?


9. September 16, 1942. District Pulkovo Pulkovo highway, south of - the observatory and the front line.


9a. Where's the runway Highway aerodorma (Pulkovo future)? It is not visible. Disguise?


10. September 16, 1942. Again Slavyanka, south of Fishermen. What a strange line in the picture above right? A wrong polygonal object at the top right? What could it be?


11. January 24, 1943. District Kirovsk - Nevdubstroy and TPP number 8, who had just taken the Soviet troops.


11a. What it is, on the frozen Neva? Traces of the bombing?


12. January 24, 1943. It almost immediately after breaking the blockade (6 days). District Shlisselburg - nuts. Seen two huge hole in the ice, apparently of natural origin.


12a. Nut and a piece of Shlisselburg and large.


12b. Neva south of nuts. That it can be for objects marked with numbers 1 and 2? Rozen-in court? Or military equipment, lined with breaking the blockade?


13. February 18, 1943. District of the Moscow highway, north of the Pulkovo высот. Хорошо видна линия фортификации (?).


13а. Что за изогнутый черный обьект, северней линии фортификации?


13б. Аналогичный множественный черный object on the right side of the frame adjacent to the course of Vitebsk. What could this be? Across attending the Moscow highway.


14. February 18, 1943. Seaport - Kirov Plant - Avtovo (2115 * 2190, a large frame)

14a. Avtovo destroyed.


14b. Kirov factory and the port. Do not see any ships at the walls. Disguise?


15. September 29 1943. Kotlin island of Kronstadt.


15a. Vybomblenny Kronstadt. Interestingly, the "cross" for the Petrovsky dock filled with water (now empty). Is it possible to photograph identify the location of large ships sunk?


15b. Area south of the forts of Kronstadt. What can this picture interesting to milk?


16. September 29, 1943. Schlisselburg - Nut (1767 * 1590)

16a. Multiple features of the Neva river - crossing supply lines blocked Leningrad?


16b. What's that, in the middle and the bottom picture? That for rectangles with a flat right content?


In general, write their suggestions, thoughts are welcome :-)
