45th Army (Soviet Union)

The 45th Army was a field army of the Red Army in World War II.

It spent most of the war in Iran and ceased to exist in 1946 after return to the Soviet Union. Both its Rifle Corps (12th and 13th) and a number of divisions (261st, 296th, 349th, 392nd, 402nd, 406th Rifle Divisions) existed for a long time, and some - until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
