Responsible for the defense of theSiegfried Line in the vicinity ofTrier as part ofArmy Group C from 3 September, the army was assigned theEifel Border Troops (86th,Trier Border,26th, and227th Divisions) and theVI Army Corps (16th,69th,211th, and216th Infantry Divisions). It also included the58th,87th,78th, and268th Infantry Divisions in army reserve. During this period, known as thePhoney War, no action took place on its sector of the Siegfried Line.
