Chronicle
The 63rd Corps was formed in January 1917.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 a Corps of two divisions was sufficient, at other times 5 or 6 divisions were necessary. Therefore, under the Hindenburg regime, new Corps headquarters were created without organic divisions. These new Corps were designated
General Commands for Special Use.
63rd Corps was still in existence at the end of the war.
