Panzerkorps Großdeutschland

The Panzerkorps Großdeutschland was a German panzer corps in the Wehrmacht which saw action on the Eastern Front in 1944/1945 during World War II.

On September 28, 1944 the OKH ordered the creation of Panzer Corps Grossdeutschland.

[1] It was planned to contain enlarged corps troops and several panzer divisions; a unit that could be used as strong reserve for an army.

Still in the forming phase during the looming of the Soviet Vistula–Oder Offensive the staff and the Brandenburg Division were ordered to Poland,[2] while the Division Großdeutschland was detached to Eastern Prussia.

Ultimately the corps never fought as a unified body, and during the retreat towards the west its composition steadily changed.
