Indeed. While factually (by strict definition) he may have commanded an army group (two armies), to all intents and purposes he didn't really - I mean what could he have done in a couple of weeks? - and in game terms it doesn't matter anyway because one doesn't need to have commanded an army group to have an HQ counter in the game! Ask Nimitz....or Gort or......

Maybe...the historical Germans never built out all of the HQ-As in their force pool...and spent all their Reichsmarks on Offensive Chits instead

.... what could he have done in a couple of weeks?
He demanded large quantities of AP ammunition, so as to blow holes in the frozen ground so the troops could get below ground level and not freeze to death.
He also ignored/disobeyed orders, made tactical withdrawals as he saw fit in the circumstances, and was sacked.
