It is a fact not generally remembered that most of the German Army of
1939-45, regarded as the most technologically advanced of its day, was
horse-drawn. This is the memoir of Max Kuhnert who was a mounted
cavalryman during World War II. Kuhnert, who came from Dresden, enlisted
in the German Army in 1939, and was posted to a cavalry unit which,
latterly, provided mounted reconnaissance troops for infantry regiments.
His account tells of mobilization, the invasion of Poland, a spell in
occupied Denmark, the invasion of France - during which his unit was
very much in the vanguard - a return to Poland and the invasion of
Russia, then retreat, wounding and return to Germany.
