Over to Axis for some summer fun.

The Soviet peoples liberation forces in Persia are celebrated as heroes everywhere as they march quickly trough the countryside. The Persian Tyrant was latest seen fleeing towards the Persian Gulf. Tens of thousands of Persians take the street crying for the Soviets to stop his flight in order for justice to be served. The Perian army is rumoured to be hiding in the south of Persia, and that their troops are deserting in masses. Later, when our troops enter Teheran enormous crowds gather in joy to celebrate. Picture of Soviet forces passing trough Tabriz. Picture of Soviet forces are celebrated in Teheran.
