Old School: Yes the Nazis Had Cavalry Who Fought In World War II
Berlin was not fully mechanized when it unleashed a world war and so it used horses for combat and patrol in addition to tanks and trucks.
Key point: Germany had excellent cavalry. However, they were used for terrible ends and eventually did not make sense on a modern battlefield.
By 1939 the German Reich possessed 3,800,000 horses while 885,000 were initially called to the Wehrmacht as saddle, draft, and pack animals. Of these, 435,000 horses were captured from the USSR, France, and Poland. Additional horses were purchased from Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Ireland.
