The initial commander of the LXXXIII Army Corps was Hans Felber.^[3] The corps, which was subordinate to Army Group D, was also known as Armeegruppe Felber after its commander. The corps personnel served as a liaison staff between the German Wehrmacht and the 4th Italian Army.^[1]

Although the LXXXIII Army Corps often did not command any divisions, it at times oversaw the 712th Infantry Division in June 1942,^[4] and the second iteration of the 376th Infantry Division between April and May 1943.^[5] In November 1942, members of the LXXXIII Army Corps participated in Case Anton, the effective German annexation of Vichy France.^[6]
