Book Synopsis Horses of the German Army in World War II by : Paul Louis Johnson

Download or read book Horses of the German Army in World War II written by Paul Louis Johnson and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 2006 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
