LXXV Army Corps (LXXV. Armeekorps) was a corps in the German Army during World War II.
The LXXV. Army Corps was created on 15 January 1944 in Frankfurt am Main in military district IX.
On January 24, 1944, the Corps was put on transport, via Munich and Verona to Liguria. The Corps became responsible for the coastal defence of the Ligurian coast, as well as anti-partisan actions, and construction of fortifications on Elba and around Genoa, La Spezia and Livorno. This lasted until mid-July 1944, when the front line reached Liguria from the south.
The Corps was now deployed against the Allied armies on the westernmost part of the Italian front. Between 17 and 20 August 1944, the Corps was pulled back from the front and moved to the area around Turin. This was in response to the Allied landings in the south of France, which created the danger that these troops would move into Italy via the Alpine passes. The Corps was commissioned to form a front in the Western Alps. The Corps held its position against the French in the Second Battle of the Alps until April 1945.
After the Allied spring offensive was launched in April 1945, the Corps was attacked from behind and forced to capitulate together with the rest of the Axis troops in Italy.
The 1st Army Corps was first formed before World War I. During World War II it fought in the Campaign for France in 1940, on the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Elba in 1943 - 1944 and in the campaigns to liberate France in 1944 and invade Germany in 1945.
The LXIV Corps was a corps-level command of the German Army on the Western Front during World War II.
The VI Corps was an infantry corps of the German Army. It fought in several notable actions during World War II.
The 30th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht was created on 1 October 1936 in Lübeck and mobilized on 26 August 1939 for the upcoming invasion of Poland. At that time, it consisted of the usual German infantry division elements: three infantry regiments of three battalions each, one three-battalion regiment of light artillery, one battalion of heavy artillery, a panzerjager (anti-tank) battalion, an aufklärungs (reconnaissance) battalion, a signals battalion, a pioneer (engineer) battalion, and divisional supply, medical, and administrative units.
