Despite the enduring popular image of the blitzkrieg of World War II, the German Army always depended on horses. While the Army's reliance on draft horses to pull artillery, supply wagons, and field kitchens is now generally acknowledged, this examines the history of the German cavalry, a combat arm that not only survived World War I but also rode to war again in 1939. Though concentrating on the period between 1939 and 1945, the book places that history firmly within the larger context of the mounted arm's development from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to the Third Reich's surrender.
