	Fox's Regimental Losses, Chapter VIII, Corps Organizations

		The various corps were organized, for the most part, with three divisions, each division containing three brigades, and each brigade consisting of five regiments,-- making 45 regiments of infantry in a corps, to which were added about nine batteries of light artillery.

		Of the LXVI Corps only those units which had swung wide of the city during the attack were able to maintain pressure on the Americans: the Fuehrer Begleit Brigade, executing its semi- independent turning movement, and the advance guard of the 190th Grenadier Regiment, inserting a company or so between the two CCB's.
