why did nazis siege leningrad

[nsk4ll]

Why did they siege it instead of outright invading them? wouldnt it be better to invade it and then send more troops to moscow to capture moscow?
i don't think they'd still win the war since majority of industries have been transferred to samara.

They are bunkered down in the city idiot. A siege is done for a reason, to deplete there resources. But the soviets didn’t give in

Siege is the way, we must drop the nukes.
