Although the development of weapons in traditional form had made the use of cavalry practically impossible in the First and Second World Wars, horses and cavalrymen continued to be part of the German armies. Since 1914, the riders wore the new field grey uniforms for the first time. In this volume, the author shows the extent to which horses, riders, drivers and horse powered (harnessed) vehicles shaped the nature of the army and influenced its structure and possibilities.
Equipped with excellent pictures, this chronicle about the field grey cavalrymen offers a wealth of military historical facts and data.
With 150 b/w pictures.
