NOTES:
Corps Headquarters was destroyed at the Don in January 1943.
On 01.05.1943 a reduced-strength corps command echelon for the occupation forces on the East Front,
west of the Dnieper River, was activated using the remnants of the headquarters staff.
It relieved the Hungarian Occupation Group West . During the winter of 1943/1944 it was rebuilt to full corps headquarters strength.
It was transferred to the field troops on 07.04.1944.
The Corps (both Corps Headquarters and Military District) was completely dissolved on 15.11.1944.
