The Transcaucasus Front describes two distinct organizations during the war. The first version was created on August 23 , 1941 from the Transcaucasus Military District . The boundary of the Front extended along the border with Turkey and along the Black Sea coast from Batumi to Tuapse . The initial Front organization incorporated the four and the 44th and 47th on the border with Iran . On August 25 , 1941 troops from the Front entered Iran according to the Soviet-Iran Treaty of February 21 , 1921 , which eliminated the direct threat to the Baku Oil Field s. It was briefly renamed the Caucasus Front on December 30 , 1941 . The second version of this front was again created from the Transcaucasus Military District on May 15 , 1942 and continued in existence until its reorganization as the Tbilisi Military District on August 25 , 1945 after the end of the war.
