The eastern caucasus mountains and baku are firmly under our control. The soviets are forced now to withdraw troops from our hard pressed eastern front, to stop us. They need some time, in order to accomplish that. We have press on with vigor to gain as much territory as possible, and if possible at all, link up with our HKL (main line of fighting) Heeresgruppe sued (Armygroup south). The desired effect is, that Heeresgruppe sued, will be able to resume offensive action again. As it stands now, the HKL is defending the border of Rumania.
