Historical Information

German cavalry units played a significant role during military operations from 1939 to 1945, especially on the Eastern Front. Although armored weaponry developed rapidly during World War II, horses steadfastly served as the primary means of supply transport and also participated directly in combat actions, patrols, and reconnaissance missions. The exceptional adaptability of cavalry allowed them to operate in terrains inaccessible to mechanized vehicles, such as swamps, forests, and off-road areas.
