In February 1943, the XLVIII Panzer Corps took part in the battles around Kharkov, and in June it was committed to the southern flank of the Battle of Kursk as part of Hoth's Fourth Panzer Army.Īfter the failure of Operation Citadel the corps took part in the fighting withdrawal from the Ukraine. However, it was quickly reformed and used by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein's Operation Winter Storm efforts to relieve General Friedrich Paulus' trapped Sixth Army still in Stalingrad. During the Battle of Stalingrad the corps was trapped and its major units, 22nd Panzer Division and 1st Armoured Division (Romania), were annihilated. Thereafter the corps joined the Fall Blau offensive towards Stalingrad under Army Group South. The corps was involved in the armored battles near Dubno early in the campaign, and later saw action at Berdichev and Kirovograd.įrom late 1941 to May 1942, the corps took part in defensive operations in the Kursk area. XLVIII Panzer Corps was attached to Field Marshal Ewald von Kleist's Panzer Group 1, a part of Army Group South. However, the corps seems to have used both names until June–July 1942. At the dawn of Operation Barbarossa, on 22 June 1941, it was officially redesignated as the XLVIII Panzer Corps. The corps was originally formed on 15 December 1940 in Germany as the XLVIII.
