Best Answer

A Corps is a body of men which is made up of 1 or more divisions. Army or Army Group is bigger, Division is smaller than a Corps. If you take D day as an example: Eisenhower is the Army commander. Bradley & Montgomery each command Army Groups, the people like Leese, Hodges & Patton are Corps Commanders.
