The XVI SS Army Corps was a short-lived corps of the Waffen-SS, which was formed in January 1945 in Pomerania.
The core of the corps was the 1st Latvian SS Division. It fought in the Piła (Schneidemühl) - Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) area against the Soviet East Prussian offensive and was dissolved in February after the retreat from that area.[https://books.google.com/books?id=0-zdDwAAQBAJ&dq=XVI.+SS-Armeekorps&pg=RA1-PA213 Die Organisation des Terrors - Der Dienstkalender Heinrich Himmlers 1943-1945 pag.213]
