История
[ редактировать ]Корпус армии XXVI был сформирован под названием Führungsstab ZB V. под надзором AOK 1 в Кенигсберге 22 августа 1939 года. Его первоначальным командиром был Альберт Водриг , заработав его в прозвище Корпс Водриг перед официальным назначением в качестве армии 1 октября. Полем [ 1 ] Водриг оставался командованием до 1 октября 1942 года. [ 2 ]
Во время вторжения в Польшу корпус Водриг курировал 1 -й и 12 -й пехотной дивизии, а также 1 -й кавалерийской бригады . [ 3 ] Корпус Водриг был размещен на юге Восточной Пруссии в рамках 3 -й армии под командованием Георга фон Кюхлера . [ 4 ] Третья армия, в свою очередь, была под надзором армейской группы на севере под командованием Федор фон Бок . [ 3 ] В первые дни вторжения Корпус Водриг ударил прямо на юг в единицы польской армии Модлин в районе Млава . [ 4 ] Полученная битва при Млаве закончилась в немецкой победе. Корпус Водриг продвинулся дальше в сторону Варшавы , помогая немецкому движению клещей против польской столицы.
1 октября 1939 года Корпус Водриг был официально переименован в XXVI. Armeekorps , официально модернизируя его от ZB V. Специального персонала развертывания до полного армейского корпуса самостоятельно. В декабре 1939 года Корпус армии XXVI был прикреплен к 6 -й армии и переведен в район Нижней Рейн . [ 1 ]
В начале 1940 года армейский корпус был перетасывается и прошел через несколько армий в быстром последовательности, в том числе 4 -й армии , 18 -й армии и 2 -й армии . В возрасте до 18 лет армейский корпус XXVI принял участие в северном фланге немецких сил вторжения во время битвы во Франции . Корпус сражался в Нидерландах и во Фландрии . [ 1 ] Первоначальным макияжем 10 мая 1940 года были 207 -й , 254 -й и 256 -й пехотной дивизии, а также 4 -й SS Pancergrenadier -полк. [ 5 ] После краткого пребывания в районе Реймс после победы Германии над Францией Корпус был переведен обратно в свой родной регион, Восточная Пруссия. [1] There, its subordinate units remained consistent from 21 July 1940 to 12 March 1941 and were made up by the 161st, 217th and 291st Infantry Divisions.[5]
For Operation Barbarossa, XXVI Army Corps operated under Army Group North and supervised the 61st, 217th and 291st Infantry Divisions.[5] It advanced through the Baltic region into the Leningrad area.[1] In the German advance towards the city of Leningrad, which was subsequently unsuccessfully besieged until the year 1944, the XXVI Corps advanced on the far left front of the army group, crossing the Luga river from Narva around 24 August 1941 and advancing along the shoreline of the Gulf of Finland, where it eventually stood opposite the Soviet 8th Army, which had been trapped in the Oranienbaum Bridgehead by the advance of German XXXVIII Corps to Petergof and Uritsk.[6]
The XXVI Corps remained in the vicinity of Leningrad throughout the entire duration of the Siege of Leningrad, which was broken by the Red Army on 27 January 1944.[1] Corps commanders switched frequently after Albert Wodrig left his post on 1 October 1942; subsequent corps commanders included Ernst von Leyser, Gustav Fehn, Ernst von Leyser, Carl Hilpert, Martin Grase, Anton Grasser, Gerhard Matzky, Kurt Chill and Gerhard Matzky.[2]
Between July and August 1943, the XXVI Army Corps was the defending unit of the primary urban target of the Soviet Mga offensive. Ultimately, the Soviet attack was repelled.
On 3 March 1944, the XXVI Army Corps joined the newly formed Armeeabteilung Narwa, the army-level promotion of the former LIV Army Corps that was designed to defend the Narva region.[1][7]
On 15 July 1944, XXVI Army Corps joined the 3rd Panzer Army, making it part of Army Group Centre at the time of Operation Bagration, the Soviet offensive that started on 23 June 1944 and that brought about the total collapse of Army Group Centre. The XXVI Army Corps was pushed back by the Red Army along with the rest of the German armed forces. At the time of German surrender on 8 May 1945, the remnants of XXVI Army Corps which had been fighting in the corps' home in East Prussia were no longer able to mount an organized resistance against the Red Army.[1]
