Army Group of Nazi Germany

In World War II, Army Group was the highest-ranking combat unit of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and played a huge role in the command of the German Army. The German army group is usually deployed in a theater of operations or in a strategic direction, deployed in a designated battlefield, and accomplishes major military tasks of strategic importance alone or jointly with friendly and neighboring units at the same level, and it is usually composed of 2 to 4 field armies, 1 tank group (army group) and reserve corps of the high command. In addition, it is attached to an air force during operations.

The field armies and tank groups under the group army group are composed of 3 to 5 armies, and in some cases they can also be organized into 6 corps. The entire army group usually consisted of 35 to 50 divisions, sometimes more infantry, tank and motorized divisions, armed with 9,000 to 15,000 artillery pieces and mortars, 500 to 1,000 tanks and assault artillery, and 500 to 1,500 combat aircraft. The total strength of the army is generally 200,000 to 700,000 men, and the commanders are mostly marshals and generals.

During the entire war, Germany saw as many as 32 army group numbers used in field battles, and 16 army group groups appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield alone.

Army Group A

Throughout the war, the army group was formed three times:

1. In October 1939, it was reorganized from Army Group "South", which participated in the Polish campaign, and the commander-in-chief was Gerd Brown. Feng. Marshal Rundstedt. Withdrawn shortly after the end of the Battle of France. In April 1941, it was reorganized into Army Group South (see Army Group South 2).

2. On July 6, 1942, XTL ordered Army Group South on the Soviet-German battlefield to be divided into two army groups, Army Group "A" and "B", which operated in the direction of the South Caucasus. In April 1944, it was renamed Army Group South Ukraine (see Army Group South Ukraine). The successive commanders-in-chief were William. Field Marshal Lister (-), Adolf XTL (concurrently) (-11) and Ewald. Feng. Field Marshal Kleist (-).

3. On September 23, 1944, it was adapted from Army Group North Ukraine, and the commander-in-chief was Joseph. General Halpe. On January 26, 1945, it was renamed Army Group Center (see Army Group Center 2).

II.Army Group B

It has been formed three times:

1. Formed after the Polish campaign in 1939, the commander-in-chief was Ferdo. Feng. Field Marshal Burke. Brilliant results in the French campaign. In 1940, the headquarters of Army Group was moved to the Soviet-German border and reorganized into the Command of Army Group Center. (See Army Group Center 1)

2. On the 6th of 1942, on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, it was formed by the Southern Army Group, and the successive commanders-in-chief were Field Marshal Burke () and Maximilian Brown. Feng. Field Marshal Weix (-)

3. Formed in August 1943 in northern Italy, the successive commanders-in-chief were Marshal Rommel (-) and Walter Brown. Marshal Moder (-)

III. Army Group C

It has been formed twice

1. Formed in August 1939 on the Zifiger Line, Commander Ritter. Feng. Field Marshal Leib, who was in charge of the defense of the West at the beginning of the Great War, cooperated with the Egyptian regiment in the French campaign to encircle and annihilate the heavy French army. In 1941, it was reorganized into Army Group North (see Army Group North 2).

2. Formed in November 1943 in southern Italy, the successive commander-in-chief was Albert. Marshal Kesselring (-) and von Kesselring. Fittinghof. General Scheer (-)

Two of the above three army groups participated in the Polish campaign and the Western Front campaign (Army Group A and B), and Army Group C participated in the Western Front campaign.

IV.D Army Group

Formed in Paris, France, on October 25, 1940, under the command of German forces in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, it was formed in 1944 as Army Group B. The successive commanders-in-chief were Erwin. Feng. Field Marshal Witzleben (-) and Field Marshal von Lundstedt (-).

V. Army Group E

Army Group F

In September 194, it was formed in the Balkans and served as the German South-East Command, commanding the German forces in the region, and the commander-in-chief was Field Marshal von Wirks.

The above-mentioned three army groups basically belong to the troops stationed in the occupied areas, and it can be said that they cannot be called field troops, and their combat effectiveness is of course greatly reduced, so they do not play a major role in the war. In the later stages of the war, they were basically annihilated or surrendered by the Allies.

7.G Army Group

It was formed in the south of France on May 12, 1944, and was successively commanded by Johannes. Colonel-General Blaskovitz (-9), Herman. General Balk Panzer (-12), Johannes. Admiral Blascowitz (-), Paul. Hausser SS General (-), Friedrich. Infantry General Scholz (-).

The two army groups described above were both awarded for the defense of the Atlantic barrier at the end of the war, and at this time NAZ Germany was at the end of its rope, and its strength and equipment were far from the size of the army group, and the result was that it was basically annihilated by the Allies in the operation of 1945.

Nine. Army Group North

The army group was formed three times:

1. Formed on the eve of the invasion of the Expo in 1939, the commander-in-chief Feng . Field Marshal Burke, reorganized into German Army Group Center in September 1939 after the end of the Polish campaign (see Army Group Center 1).

Field Marshal Leib (-), Field Marshal Quchler (-), Field Marshal Moder (-), General Lindemann (-), General Friesner (), Field Marshal Schellner (-).

3. It was reorganized from Army Group Center on January 26, 1945, and disbanded in February 1945 after the crushing defeat in East Prussia. The successive commanders-in-chief were Lothar. General Rendulik (-) and Walter. General Weiss (-).

Ten. Army Group South

Formed four times during the Great War:

1. Formed on the eve of the invasion of Poland in August 1939, Commander-in-Chief Gerd Anderson. Feng. Marshal Rundstedt. After the end of the Polish campaign, it was reorganized into Army Group A in October 1939 (see Army Group A 1).

In July 1942, it was divided into two army groups, A and B. The successive commanders-in-chief were Gerd. Feng. Field Marshal Rundstedt (-), Walter. Feng. Marshal Reichenau (-), von Field Marshal Burke (-).

3. In 1943, it was reorganized from the Don Army Group, and the commander-in-chief was Erich. Feng. Marshal Manstein. After the Battle of Ukraine in 1944, it was renamed Army Group North Ukraine.

Eleven. Army Group Center

The army group was formed twice:

1. Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, it was adapted from Army Group B, and the commander-in-chief, Field Marshal Burke. This army group was the main army of the attack on the Soviet Union, fought in the central part of the Eastern Front for a long time, participated in the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Kursk, and repeatedly surrounded and annihilated the Soviet heavy army group in the early stage of the war. In January 1945, it was renamed Army Group North, and the successive commanders-in-chief were Field Marshal Burke (-), Field Marshal Kruger (-), Ernst Brown (-), and the commanders-in-chief. Field Marshal Busch (-), Walter. Field Marshal Moder (-), Hans. General Reinhardt (-).

2. On January 26, 1945, it was reorganized from Army Group A, and the commander-in-chief Ferdinand . Marshal Schellner. In 1945, it was surrounded and annihilated by Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia and Bohemia.

Twelve. Army Group Don

It was formed in January 1942 under the command of Field Marshal Manstein to relieve the siege of Stalingrad, and after the battle, it was reorganized into Army Group South in February 1943 (see Army Group South 3).

These four army groups participated in almost all German battles on the European theater of operations, and can be said to have experienced a hundred battles. It was these German troops who inflicted unprecedented disasters on the Soviet army in the early days of the Soviet-German war. Putting aside the factor of Germany's surprise attack at the beginning of the war, the fact that the German army was able to inflict huge losses on the Soviet Union in the Soviet-German war cannot but be said to be inseparable from their rich combat experience and excellent military qualities. Especially those excellent military commanders, their superb military command ability is amazing.

A baker's dozen. Army Group Africa

The Army Group was formed in Tunisia in February 1943 as the German African Army Group, and its commander-in-chief, Erwin Murphy. Field Marshal Rommel, soon led by Hans-Jürgen. Feng. General Arnim took over, and in May of that year he was annihilated by the Allies in the Battle of Tunis.

The Afrika Korps had won a brilliant victory under the command of Field Marshal Rommel, but its demise was inevitable due to various reasons (mainly XTL) that caused the disparity in power between the two sides.

Fourteen. Army Group South Ukraine

On April 5, 1944, it was renamed Army Group A (see Army Group A 3), and on September 23, 1944, it was reorganized into Army Group South (see Army Group South 4). Field Marshal Schellner (-7) and Johannes. General Friesner.

On April 5, 1944, Army Group South (see Army Group South 3) was renamed, and in September 1944, it was reorganized into Army Group A (see Army Group A 3). Field Marshal Moder (-8) and Joseph. General Halpe (-)

By this time the balance of forces in the war was already one-sided, and the role of these two army groups could only be to slow down the pace of German defeat. Nevertheless, the frantic resistance of the Germans cost the Soviets dearly on the road to victory.

Sixteen. Army Group Vistula

It was formed on 25 January 1945 and assumed the task of defending West Prussia, Polamenia and Berlin. In April, the army group took part in the Battle of Berlin, where most of it was annihilated, and it was expected to flee to the Western Front and surrender to the Allies.
