A corps is two or more divisions. Frequently in the armies of both sides in WWI a corps had three divisions, but it could have more, There is no set number, just however many divisions seems best to the army commander. (A field army is two or more corps). So the answer depends on the size of the divisions fielded by the country of whose army the corps is a part. British, French and German divisions were around 12-15,000 men at full strength. US divisions of WWI were huge, more than 26,000 men. So, a US corps with only two divisions was bigger than any other nation's corps with three.

Depends. The U.S. Army has divisions of 10,000 to 30,000. Other countries have divisions of less than 5,000.
The Nazis never had an entire army of their own, but they had the German Army under their direction, and it was a very good army which was very difficult to beat. There is a tendency to confuse German and Nazi in World War 2, but not all Germans were Nazis, just as not all Americans are Democrats. In WW2 it was not even required that a German general be a member of the Nazi Party, and actually most of them were not.
