Armys, Corps, Groups and Divisions - Battle of the Bulge

Wow! Richard Seay did a superior job in finding the vehicles used by both sides in "Wacht Am Rein" or the "Battle of the Bulge". Nice job Richard. So I was thinking maybe as we build these tanks, trucks, or what ever, it would be nice to have knowledge of some of the units that fought that cold December of 1944. As I researched I decided that Army, Groups, Brigades and Divisions should suffice. Any units below Division level would make the list almost too huge to work through. I think all the units listed had tanks either in their order of battle or tanks attached to them, as far as I can tell. Feel free to fix mistakes or add more if you find my list wanting. So here you go -
