From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from XXXVII Army Corps (Wehrmacht))

The LXXXII Army Corps (German: LXXXII. Armeekorps) was an army corps of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. It was formed in 1942 and existed until 1945.

History

The LXXXII Army Corps was created on 25 May 1942 from the renamed Höheres Kommando z. b. V. XXXVII,^[1] which had in turn been created on 20 October 1939 from the Grenzschutz-Abschnittkommando 30 and additionally served since 1 July 1940 as Befehlshaber der Truppen in Holland.^[2]

The initial commander of the LXXXII Army Corps was Alfred Böhm-Tettelbach.^[3] The corps, assigned to the 15th Army under Army Group D,^[4] was originally headquartered at Aire-sur-la-Lys.^[1] Böhm-Tettelbach was replaced as corps commander by Ernst Dehner on 1 November 1942. Dehner was in turn replaced by Johann Sinnhuber on 10 July 1943.^[3]

The corps remained on defensive duty in France until the Normandy landings of June 1944.^[1]^[4] By the end of August 1944, the corps had been transferred to the 1st Army and deployed in the Loire region.^[5] Walter Hörnlein became the commander of the corps on 7 September 1944.^[3] The corps was subsequently driven back to the Saar region.^[5]

After a transfer to the 7th Army, the LXXXII Army Corps,^[6] now under command of Walter Hahm,^[3] was deployed in Hesse and Thuringia in April 1945, shortly before German surrender.^[6] Its final commander was Theodor Tolsdorff, who had only held that post since 20 April 1945. Before him, Walther Lucht had held command of the LXXXII Army Corps for five days between 15 April and 20 April 1945.^[3]
