Volumes have been written on the equipment of the German Army of
World War II, including tanks, trucks, motorcycles, weapons, and
personal equipment, but little has been written on the horses that
made up 80% of its transportation. Horses pulled everything an army
needed in the field by wagon or on its back and more horses were
used in World War II than in any other war in history. This book
includes text from the U.S. Army Military History Institute
publication MS #P-090. The participants of this study were among
the most knowledgeable the German army could provide, and their
conclusions constitute a critique of what probably was the last
mass use of horses in warfare. If one really means to understand
the performance and tactics of the Wehrmacht in World War II, one
must understand the horse and its logistic requirements. Also, this
book presents one of the most comprehensive photo collections of
the men and equipment of the horse-mounted troops.
