[2] The initial corps commander of the LXVII Reserve Corps was Walther Fischer von Weikersthal. [3]

On 20 January 1944, the LXVII Reserve Corps was renamed to become the LXVII Army Corps. [1] It was subsequently activated for normal combat purposes and would serve, in order, under the 15th Army between February 1944 and November 1944, [4] under the 1st Parachute Army in December 1944, [5] under the 15th Army in January 1945, [4] under the 5th Panzer Army between February 1945 and March 1945, [6] and under the 11th Army in April 1945.
