TheV SS Mountain Corps was aWaffen-SS formation that existed in the later periods ofWorld War II. The corps fought against theYugoslav Partisans in the Balkans as part of the2nd Panzer Army from October 1943 to December 1944. At this time it rarely had more than two understrength divisions. In 1945, the corps fought on theOder line as part of the9th Army, in theFrankfurt (Oder) area, and in theBattle of Berlin that followed.[1][2]
The corps'war diary was destroyed (with only fragments of copies surviving), likely near the war's end, causing the loss of valuable information on the Yugoslav campaign.[3]: 14
