Maybe it is only nitty gritty, but in 1941 Campaign xxxx. Motorized Corps arrives too late (7 Sept) in Germany.
According to Glantz, Barbarossa Derailed Volume 1 page 557(highly recommended!) it is the corps, which conducted the offensive towards Velikie Luki 22-25 August. This is confirmed by this link:

Maybe Denniss may have a look!

This also confirmes arrival date Sept 7th in Germany is historically incorrect.

The map book Der Feldzug Gegen Sowjet-Russland Band I:Operationen Sommer-Herbst 1941 vom 21.Juni - 6.Dezember 1941 that I have on my PC shows the XXXX.mot Korps arriving in the 9.Armee area just South of Velikye-Luki on the 7th August 1941.

Looks like the Corps did arrive in early August. An assumption was made that it arrived with the 2nd and 5th Panzer in early-mid September but this is incorrect.

Yes, abundantly confirmed in Glantz, Barbarossa derailed. Maybe it could be corrected in a future patch in favor of us history fanboys. [;)]
