Comprehensive study of German Wehrmacht cavalry formations, mounted troops, reconnaissance units and horse warfare during World War II.
Wehrmacht Cavalry German Mounted Troops and Horse Warfare in World War II
Issued as part of the Great Encyclopedia of Armaments – September 1939 (Wielki Leksykon Uzbrojenia – Wrzesień 1939) series, this volume examines the organisation, equipment and operational use of German cavalry formations during the Second World War.
Although the Wehrmacht is often associated with tanks and mechanised warfare, horses remained an essential part of the German war machine throughout the conflict. Cavalry units served in reconnaissance, security and anti-partisan roles, while millions of horses were employed for transport, artillery towing and supply duties. German mounted formations operated primarily on the Eastern Front, where vast distances and difficult terrain often limited the effectiveness of motorised transport.
Richly illustrated with archival photographs and historical materials, the book presents the structure, training, equipment and combat service of Wehrmacht cavalry units, offering valuable insight into a frequently overlooked aspect of German military history during World War II.
