The LXXIV Army Corps (de|LXXIV. Armeekorps) was an army corps of the German Wehrmacht during World War II.
The LXXIV Army Corps was formed on 26 July 1943 as a static army corps under the authority of Oberbefehlshaber West (Army Group D) in Hanover in Wehrkreis XI. It was subordinate to the 7th Army from July 1943 to June 1944 and subsequently joined, at times, the 5th Panzer Army and the 15th Army.[1] The initial commander of the LXXIV Army Corps was Erich Straube.
On 16 December 1944, Straube was succeeded as corps commander by Carl Püchler.
The LXXIV Army Corps was trapped in the Ruhr Pocket at the end of the war.
