As Germany was cut in two, Kesselring's command was enlarged to include Army Groups Centre, South and South-East on the Eastern Front, and Army Group C in Italy, as well as his own Army Group G and Army Group Upper Rhine.
Da Tyskland blev delt i to, blev Kesselrings område udvidet til at omfatte Heeresgruppe Mitte, Süd og sydøst på østfronten og Heeregruppe C i Italien foruden hans egen Heeresgruppe G og Heeresgruppe Oberrhein.
