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:

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparti_italiani_al_fronte_orientale

Il Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Russia, inviato sul fronte russo, inizia la sua attivit� il 10 luglio del 1941. Questa grande unit� 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.
