The 66th Corps ((ドイツ語:Generalkommando zbV 66)) was a corps formation of the German Army in World War I. It was formed on 9 May 1917 and was still in existence at the end of the war. == Chronicle == The 66th〔Note that Corps (z.b.V.) were designated with Arabic, not Roman, numerals.〕 Corps (z.b.V.)〔General Commands for Special Use ''Generalkommandos zur besonderen Verwendung'' (Genkdo z.b.V.)〕 was formed on 9 May 1917. It was formerly known as Gruppe "Nowogrodek", named for the city of Nowogrodek. With the onset of trench warfare, the German Army recognised that it was no longer possible to maintain the traditional Corps unit, that is, one made up of two divisions. Whereas at some times (and in some places) a Corps of two divisions was sufficient, at other times 5 or 6 divisions were necessary. Therefore, under the Hindenburg regime (from summer 1916), new Corps headquarters were created without organic divisions. These new Corps were designated ''General Commands for Special Use'' ((ドイツ語:Generalkommandos zur besonderen Verwendung)). By the end of the war, the Corps was serving on the Western Front as part of 19th Army, ''Heeresgruppe Herzog Albrecht von Württemberg'' with the following composition: * 2nd Bavarian ''Landwehr'' Division * 19th ''Ersatz'' Division * 17th Reserve Division 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「66th Corps (German Empire)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
