So lets say Fall of 1941, the German get far enough around the east side of Lake Ladoga to take both Volkhov and Tihkvin and manage to hold on to them against Soviet counterattacks in December 1941, Leningrad is more isolated than OTL. Thousands are dying every day (even more than OTL)

Question 1: Does Stalin ever allow the city to surrender???

Question 2: Would then Hilter accept such a surrender???? (My understanding that the answer was no)

Question 3: Would even the doubters across the world have no doubt the Nazis were completely evil if they refused the surrender and starved everyone in the city to death? Seems like a bad PR move for neutral opinions and neutral opinions were still important to Germany (Chrome shipments from Turkey etc...)

Question 4: Would the city then just surrender to the Finns instead?

Question 5: Since the Finns don't have the extra food, and are not at war with the U.S accept some deal where the U.S. ships grain to feed the population (via Petasmo)????
