There are the following unities inaccuracies:

Italian:

game: CSIR (korp) withdraw in spring '42

history: - CSIR (Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Russia) not withdrawl but take new name of XXXV (35° italian
infantry korp) IK and stay in russia untill withdraw italian forces in '43.

- in spring'42 arrive in Russia XXIX IK (29° italian infantry korp) and stay in russia untill withdraw
italian forces (no exist in the game).

German heer:

game: 163° ID (2° IR and 3° IR)
later in withdraw order appear withdraw 163° (1° Infantry Regiment) but never deployed in game.

German luftwaffe:

game: 2 luftflotte stay untill and (may '45)

History: 2 luftflotte desbanded in sept'44

Will look into the italians, do you have some online sources for this?
163rd Inf is OK, actually the 1st and 2nd are on-map while the 3rd is offmap but you still see the withdrawal notice for it.
Withdrawing Luftflotte 2 is already planned for my next update.

XXXV:

Il Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Russia, inviato sul fronte russo, inizia la sua attività il 10 luglio del 1941. Questa grande unità corrispondeva al XXXV Corpo d'armata del Regio Esercito ed integrava anche reparti di Camicie Nere della Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale e truppe straniere (come la Legione croata ed il Gruppo squadroni cosacchi "Campello"). Inoltre al CSIR era aggregato uno stormo della Regia Aeronautica.

Translated:

CSIR did start in 10 July 1941. This great unity was the XXXV Italian Armee Korp ...

...


after creation ARMIR, CSIR returned former name of XXXV italian korps.

XXIX : my mistake, this INFANTRY KORP was GERMANY not ITALIAN.
I know the battle order of 8th italian army (ARMIR) since 8 years old and always I thank that the XXIX was italian (when I did study internet didn´t exist, and in the books never I read germany korp). Now when I´m looking for source I get surprised about to descover XXIX nationality. Thank you.

... worse, in the book was wrote (germany), so it´s only a my memory fail ...
