XIV Corps (German Empire) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The XIV Army Corps (XIV. Armeekorps) was a corps of the Imperial German Army. It was, effectively, also the army of the Grand Duchy of Baden, which had been integrated in 1871 into the Prussian Army command structure, as had the armies of most German states. Both divisions and the bulk of the corps' support units were from the grand duchy. The corps was established 1870 after the Siege of Strasbourg. On mobilization in 1914, the corps was subordinated to the 7th Army and fought in the Battle of the Frontiers. In September, it was transferred to the 6th Army. From November 1916 to March 1917, the corps took command of Group Hardaumont of the 5th Army. In March 1917, it was transferred to the 3rd Army (which was renamed the 1st Army in April) and took command of Group Prosnes.
