VI SS Army Corps (Latvian) or VI. SS-Freiwilligen-Armeekorps (Lettisches) (German) was a corps of the Waffen-SS during World War II. It was formed in October 1943 to command the Latvian Waffen-SS divisions. It fought in the northern sector of the Eastern Front as part of the 18th Army. They were part of Army Group North until early 1945, when it was subordinated to Army Group Courland. In October 1944, they were encircled by the Red Army and spent the remainder of the war in the Courland Pocket, until they surrendered to the Red Army at end of the war.[1][2]
