Yes, that's the campaign.

Ok one last "geographic" achievement before I move on, On August 21 a Nazi flag was installed on the Elbrus peak, the highest point of Caucasus and apparent Europe as well.

Almost there..

Haha I think I have to concede defeat on this one, I am guessing it has something to do with operation Edelweiss but I just cant find anything.

Looking at the map and remembering where they started from, I think that they are the unit that went farther and higher into Russia than any other, although, they did not go the farthest east.
Could also be that they conquered the highest spot during the war, this being Elbrus. IIRC, the region was heavily defended by the Russians, but when the Russians took it back, it had already been abandoned by the Germans.

There are lots of things it could be though from the drive on Baku (which oddly enough some sources claim was captured) which would have put them in almost in the middle east and certainly on the Turkish border to the use and recruitment of Muslim troops.

Alright gentlemen, you were pretty close.

The answer I was looking for was that they had held, albeit briefly, both the highest AND lowest points in Europe. The highest being Mount Elbrus at 18,481 feet above sea level and the Caspian Sea being 92 feet below sea level.

I think you were both almost there so either can feel free to submit a new question.

PS Baku was never captured by German forces so whatever sources state that are incorrect.

Indeed it was one of the reasons I stopped reading that source but they even had a date for its capture.
I suspect it was on Wiki while I was reading about german plans for the region once it was captured.

Any way as we didnt really answer the question I suspect the ball is still in your court.

Definitely. I would never have found that one, so ask again, Doppelganger.

Ok let me think of a suitable question chaps.
