The V SS Mountain Corps was a Waffen-SS formation that existed in the later periods of World War II. The corps fought against the Yugoslav Partisans in the Balkans as part of the 2nd Panzer Army from October 1943 to December 1944. At this time it rarely had more than two understrength divisions. In 1945, the corps fought on the Oder line as part of the 9th Army, in the Frankfurt (Oder) area, and in the Battle of Berlin that followed.

The corps' war diary was destroyed (with only fragments of copies surviving), likely near the war's end, causing the loss of valuable information on the Yugoslav campaign.

Walter Harzer served as chief of staff.^{[citation needed]}
