World War II is not usually seen as a cavalry war, yet many cavalry saw service before its conclusion. The dramatic build-up of the German armed forces in the 1930s had outstripped the country’s ability to make it entirely motorised, and in August 1939 the Wehrmacht had 15 predominantly horse-mounted cavalry regiments. German cavalry saw action in most theatres, but was particularly successful in the difficult conditions of the eastern front, where the horse had many advantages over wheeled vehicles.
