Basically to keep it simple, Army Groups and Corps were top echelon organizations, and a division, etc. would be part of that organization. In your father's case, his unit was under VI Army jurisdiction.
In my father's case in Europe, he was always under either VI Corps, or 5th or 7th Armies, depending on the operation.
Here's a link in the research section regarding the the organization and size of units, etc.
